General Discussion

... unless you are cheering on the coming environmental catastrophe. In that case we get the biggest bang-for-the-buck by eliminating the wealthiest 10% of the human population, which generally includes most of those who bring up the subject of overpopulation.

We already know how to achieve negative population growth in positive life-affirming ways. These are by the economic and political empowerment of women, the universal availability of birth control, and by realistic sex education. It's no coincidence that "conservatives" oppose all of these. Their political and economic machines, the machines that sustain billionaires, are greased by human suffering.

For now nuclear power is the only energy resource capable of displacing fossil fuels entirely. Quitting fossil fuels is something we must do. If we don't quit fossil fuels billions of people already born are going to suffer and die.

Like it or not, our civilization that supports 8 billion human beings is dependent on high density energy resources. Without these high density energy resources billions of people are going to suffer and die.
