    The explosion of the global population is also rather recent. Just 100 years ago global population was less than a quarter than it is today. And going back to the middle ages, earth didn’t even have half of a billion people. And resources for all those people need to come from somewhere, hard to do this without causing climate change.

      Except it’s not the result of the population increase, it’s the result of industrialization.

      We have the resources. We can provide for everyone on earth easily without also destroying it.

      Otherwise if you genuinely thought there were too many people, you should logically kill yourself otherwise you’re a hypocrite.

      I’m not saying you actually should because that’s stupid, this whole idea is just ecofascism. But if you’re pushing this bullshit then you better follow through.
