The situation can be far more nuanced than this. It's not the people, it's the cars, cows, planes, land, and fuel they consume.

- hersko 3y agoEarth can sustain a far larger human population. More humans is absolutely a net-good.
- BurningFrog 3y agoFor most of those things, people produce as much as they consume. So more people doesn't make things worse. Fossil fuels are a bit of an exception, but the transition to non fossil fuels is in full swing, and will be complete long before the oil runs out. Land is a better argument, though multi story buildings is a partial answer. Either way, we are very far from running out of land.
