You are probably correct.
I didn't really mean to suggest population control, even though I wrote just that. The problem as I see it is that everybody tries to approach the problem as if it will be solvable by technology.
The only way I see that we can solve a climate crisis or the survival of humanity long term is to actually work together. Which I'm pretty certain will never happen, since there will always be greedy and selfish people.
- cwkoss 5y agoI agree. I believe reducing wealth inequality is the best path towards stable global population. Nearly half of the countries in the world are already below the population replacement rate - and it seems birth rates are inversely correlated with wealth to some extent. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sovereign_states_and_dependencies_by_total_fertility_rate https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sovereign_states_and_d... If we can end war and poverty (and that's a pretty big 'if'), I think global population would stabilize and this would be a non-issue.
- fragbait65 5y agoI'd say wealth and education, but in most counties wealth and education go hand in hand, so I agree with what you say.
