Arguing that there are simply too many people on Earth is never a popular comment on HN, but it's just simply the truth.
There is no path forward that allows for continued improvement in quality of life for the developing world and also prevents climate and environmental disaster.
The only paths forward are: 1. fewer people or 2. lower quality of life.
Thankfully people are having fewer babies, so it seems like #1 may actually win out. However, the change in birth rate isn't happening nearly fast enough to avert disaster.
