The only thing that could help us it's a virus that makes humans sterile, because the elephant in the room it's the real cause of climate change is that 9 billion people is just too many.
- jamil7 4y agoWon't the population issue take care of itself at some point and peak? We already see stagnant or decreasing populations in developed countries.
- carapace 4y ago> 9 billion people is just too many. I used to think so too, but I changed my mind. Two main reasons: 1. Our current systems are incredibly wasteful. If we just used our resources and technology efficiently we could reduce our environmental footprint drastically. 2. We can reconfigure our systems so that they work in harmony with Nature rather than against it. Ecology is a science, it's applications are technology, but it's very young and still not very influential. If we can reconfigure our systems in time we can easily support 9-12B people while improving the environment. (E.g. Gabe Brown in N. Dakota.)
