Right, you're spot on. We're lucky in that fertility is plummeting across the world [1], which means the population peak won't be too high [2], but we're still going to have to provide for all the people who are going to exist over the course of the next century.

The world is rapidly aging [3]; we should build renewables while we still have a young, productive worker cohort [4]. How are people who are going to want or need to migrate, to survive carbon emissions catching up with us, going to? No idea.
