It is rightfully unpopular, because it's not based on facts. The earth could easily sustain 8B+ people if certain countries do not over-consume as they are currently. But you are right, people are selfish, especially these over-consumers.
- kazinator 6y agoI think it's better for 2B billion to enjoy life, than for 20B to live under some miserable constraints.
- rocknor 6y agoPretty stupid thing to say. UN predicts 11B humans at peak. Certain new studies predict 9.7B. Global average birth rate is already close to replacement levels. The earth population that can enjoy life is not fixed at 2B, that's very myopic thinking. We should fund science & tech so that it's possible for 11B people to enjoy life without damaging the planet, instead of blaming the "others" based on racist anti-science attitudes and deliberately keeping them poor by punishing them economically. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzBAxcJDSsc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzBAxcJDSsc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsBT5EQt348 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsBT5EQt348 http://www.overpopulation.world/ http://www.overpopulation.world/ https://overpopulationisamyth.com/ https://overpopulationisamyth.com/ https://www.gapminder.org/ https://www.gapminder.org/
