    if we drastically reduce the human population. Which would not only avoid the issues caused by climate change but also would prevent further increases in pollution and CO2 emissions.

    Ignoring the genocide-apologist trend, the pandemic did wonders to reduce global warming…, perhaps start taxing more the companies that force back-to-office when they could clearly keep most of their work force at home?

      What genocide? Just sensible reproduction. There’s two options. 10 billion people living miserably like during the pandemic. Or maybe 1 billion people being able to live good lives.

        What about 2 billion people living pretty-good lives or 9 billion people living less-miserably? That’s at least two more options right there.

          I literally said just having less children.

          And I’m totally ok to only having between one or zero children myself.

              Chinas problem was also a still very uneducated and traditionalist populace, that insisted on having boys as heirs. Leading to abortions or straight up murder of female infants. That wouldn’t really be a global issue I beleive

              Derived problems were product of a sexist society should be avoidable, you know, ending sexism…

              Or are you supporting that people should be able to want male babies over female ones?

                  Literally the only big problem with china one-child policy, was that sexist parents were practicing selective abortions to ensure that they get one male kid.

                  No sexism = no problem

      And, eliminate Euclidean zoning in the U.S., so that people can live near where they work, or work near where they live. (Not all of us can do it, or like working from home.)
