Why people are so short sighted and focus only on the numbers instead of seeing the root cause?
The root cause is how we live and treat our enviorment, our society with it's consumerims uses mostly non regenerable energy sources to produce mountain of useless junk that breaks fast or it's out of fashion, driving big polluting cars and eating lots of meat that leads for deforestation to provide land for the crops that are eaten by billions of animals that are slaughtered every year and many other irational things the modern man is doing to it's planet, it's home.
Reducing the numbers while keeping this insanity going will no help much, it will only slighly delay the inevitable.
- smaudet 8y agoUh, and who do you think does all those things in a society? Population reduction is not sn overnight fix, no, but it is not in effective practiced at scale. Even a 5 % reduction in population over the next couple years would likely offset any flagrant increases in resource usage (equally distributed across earth, of course). Enough people die every second to make simply not adding to the human population a viable solution. And it will happen anyways, if enough smart people don't exist, laws of the universe are such that all the stupid ones will get into a resource war and kill each other off.
