At what point do we just admit that this is being done intentionally by governments?
The easiest way to tackle climate change is to drastically reduce the population. Short of genocide - which only authoritarian governments can pull off - the easiest way is to set up an environment that puts as many barriers as possible on reproduction.
Make children extremely expensive so that only the elites can have multiple children. Inflate the cost of everything so it's impossible for a single-worker household to survive, and the cost of a third mouth to feed/educate/raise prohibitive. Then sit back and wait a generation or two. It's China's one child policy, but applied globally, through economics and social dynamics.
/tin foil hat off, but I also wouldn't entirely be surprised if there's a meeting precisely on this at Davos every year.
- beebeepka 5y agoI am all for reducing human population but your proposal isn't all that different from genocide and slavery. I. Not looking forward to the day when laws will say what someone is allowed to do based on their wealth.

Ironically, they repealed that policy because it was having a negative effect. > Make children extremely expensive so that only the elites can have multiple children. Another irony since it's the elites that tend to not have many children, not the poor.
- lotsofpulp 5y agoFunnily enough, childbirth is intrinsically expensive for a woman in terms of costs to their health and time, so simply giving women financial independence and birth control methods (IUD/pills/condoms) will drive down the birth rate regardless of other variables.
