Agreed, though I feel like having fewer would at left give the planet some extra cushion for natural human inefficiencies. (Though I'm open to being totally wrong on this. I'm not an expert.)
Though any talk of population management is obviously ripe for eugenics, or problematicizing the working poor especially in areas most likely to produce climate refugees.
Increases in equity and access to birth control are enough on their own from what I've read, but you wouldn't think it to hear the neo Malthusians eco fascists go on.
Right, because the billionaires wouldn't use that as an excuse to dump more wasteful externalities on the rest of us to use up that cushion and pad their profits.
