Alternatively, we could get the rich people poor again, since it's a small part of the giant population that's causing all the problems.

- qayxc 5y agoWhat makes you think that? The population growth in Sahel area ranges from 130% to 230% in the next two decades [0]. This is an area that historically only supported a fraction of its current inhabitants. Continued exponential growth will bring the already overstressed ecological and economical environment to its total collapse. These are not rich people. These are the poorest of the poor and they will destroy the last bits of forest, arable land and ground water reserves in the region just to survive. Ecological collapse doesn't start and end with CO2 emissions and taking joy rides into space after all. Continued uncontrolled exponential population growth in regions that simply don't support that many people is a problem.
