If you are reading this in your climate controlled northern hemisphere room, be reminded that the people suffering this are not just going to disappear, and they will need to live somewhere, somehow, and they will be more motivated than you will ever be. If you love your "western comfort" so much, the best thing you can do is to make sure other people than yourselves can also have a bare minimum of living conditions.
- bamboozled 5mo agoNo, they will sadly disappear. That's the horror of it. Then we will etc.
- the_real_cher 5mo agoThere needs to be a population decline in these places where living conditions are not amenable to human existence. Yet somehow theres over a billion people.
- ares623 5mo agoThat's beside the point. Fact is, there are a billion people there now. We can either make them want to stay there, away from our "western comforts" (blegh), or force them to stay there at the cost of the very comforts we wanted to keep for ourselves.

- the_real_cher 5mo agoI dont think people should be rewarded for irresponsible behavior.
- blntechie 5mo agoThis is a lazy comment. India's TFR just reached 1.9 which is below replacement rate.. The state I live in with 60m people has 1.5-1.6 TFR and still going down rapidly towards Japan and South Korea level of population decline. This will be seen in the coming decades. But you can't just go and delete the billions of people already born and are living. You can't change demographics in a day or even a decade.
