There's part of me thinks just let the worst happen and let it end half of humanity, that way we might learn to live more in harmony with our environment. Currently we're a pox on this planet.
- jkhdigital 3y agoHalf of humanity is not going to die from climate change. It is going to die from other people who consider humanity itself to be a pox. Also, birth rates are in terminal decline pretty much everywhere except Africa so don’t worry, we’ll control our population on our own.
- kzrdude 3y agoIf we grow our resource use to such a point that we reach a ceiling, then we are exactly like a pox, or any other organism that breeds until its niche is filled. Those who want to make us live sustainably now or previously are hoping that we can be smarter than that. We're supposed to be a smart species. Can we limit ourselves artificially to preserve a better quality of life? Easy to be pessimistic about this now(!)
- krona 3y agoThat might take a while. Humans fare better in hotter climates.

- fsloth 3y ago"let it end half of humanity" You do realize that would be mostly the half whose nations had nothing to with this mess in the first place, right? The rich well of nations of northern hemisphere will not suffer dramatic population falls (just the slow, endemic kind from low birth rate).
- nobody9999 3y ago>There's part of me thinks just let the worst happen and let it end half of humanity Good idea. Why don't you start with yourself?
