Why doesn't anybody talk about overpopulation? Isn't it obvious that there are way too many people on this planet? Isn't it clear that population control is essential for dealing with climate change? I mean really, people.

land degradation


'Pressures on global land resources are now greater than ever, as a rapidly increasing population coupled with rising levels of consumption is placing ever-larger demands on the world’s land-based natural capital, warns a new United Nations report.

survive and reproduce

Now there is some study claiming that the best thing people can do for the enviroment is not to have children:

No, it depends who the people are. The kind of people who care about the environment are precisely the people who should be reproducing-- the intelligent, educated people, rather than the religious fanatics and the welfare idiots. We are in a demographic race with those two groups, and it is a race we are losing.
