There's part of me thinks just let the worst happen and let it end half of humanity, that way we might learn to live more in harmony with our environment. Currently we're a pox on this planet.
Also, birth rates are in terminal decline pretty much everywhere except Africa so don’t worry, we’ll control our population on our own.
Those who want to make us live sustainably now or previously are hoping that we can be smarter than that. We're supposed to be a smart species. Can we limit ourselves artificially to preserve a better quality of life?
Easy to be pessimistic about this now(!)
You do realize that would be mostly the half whose nations had nothing to with this mess in the first place, right? The rich well of nations of northern hemisphere will not suffer dramatic population falls (just the slow, endemic kind from low birth rate).
Good idea. Why don't you start with yourself?
What about other animals?
You first.
Or an invasive species without a natural predator.
