Its concerning that this article closes with the idea that "migration will become a necessity for all nations and not an option."
There are multiple factors that limit population density, most important of which is access to space and clean water. The fact that a professor from London, with a population density of over 10,000 people per square kilometer [1] is advocating for continued growth is odd.

- Leherenn 6y agoThe sentence is a bit weird as well, if every one is having a population decline, then migration cannot be the solution, at least not globally. Maybe he meant every one will compete for migrants, but some of them will lose the game. (Probably the poor and climate change hit countries.)
- jl2718 6y agoYeah, I don’t see the problem here. Seems like the planet did just fine with less humans on it for quite a while. Even human history shines particularly well after broad population declines.
