Yeah... the consensus is that the more we wait before reducing willingly the population, the more it will happen suddenly and violently (wars, famines) at the snap point (or at snap points, plural). Not pretty thoughts, but just mechanistically unavoidable... I'd say, let's reduce our comfort, let's do it now, yeah we'll be poorer and all. Still better than the alternative. The point is to go out of our way to remain (and become more) altruistic and united at a global scale... in order to spread evenly the diminishing resources. If everybody gets poor in a similar way, it will reduce anger and unrest. Or avoid wars, if that's a country that would have felt wronged otherwise.
