  > Bangladesh's population is growing by 1-2% per year [1]. Isn't that just as bad as losing 1-2% of their land to sea level ever year? No, it isn't. First off, 1% of the population doesn't "consume" 1% of the land. People can be packed in pretty densely. Second off, people can move/relocate. The land, once lost to the rising ocean, is gone forever. > How are you concerned about them losing land but not about them gaining people? Why are you putting words in my mouth? When did I even mention overpopulation let alone dismiss it? Of course overpopulation is an issue, and is a cause of climate change. But it wasn't part of the conversation. If you want to bring it in, I would say it is also a bigger concern than AI.
