I don't fully agree with this. Would you rather live on a planet with a population of 5 billion that primarily used coal energy and meat food? or a planet of 10 billion that primarily consisted of renewable energy and vegetarianism?
My concern is more economic and social. With high population levels it seems too much wealth and power goes to the holders of land and natural resources. The Gulf state monarchs and London landlords being the 20th century manifestations of this.
- mytailorisrich 2y agoI'd rather live on a planet where people are free to eat what they want, free to travel as they wish and see the world, free to live in a house with a large garden, free to enjoy life and the planet. Renewable energy, at least low-zero emission energy, will take over in any case but emissions are only one issue. Our negative impact on the environment goes far beyond that and it is driven by population.
