Why is the right answer to increase the population to unsustainable levels, try to make it up with increased density, and then blame the people who want something different?
You do realize that densifying will not in fact, fix the problem either, it only buys you some time, at the cost of different resources.
- bumby 5y agoI don’t disagree with your premise but don’t know if it leads to a pragmatic answer outside of population regulation. If we can’t convince people to reduce energy usage I don’t think there’s any legitimate chance of convincing them from making humans from scratch

I did not mean to imply that population can be allowed to grow uncontrollably and still be able to accomplish curtailing climate change. Both densifying and population control and specifically reducing consumption per person, which is part of densifying) are necessary.
