Imposing such a drastic change in living conditions for the the whole population of this planet is impossible. The rich will not allow it and everybody who isn't worse off than the conditions suggested here will fight it. Most people won't even consider going vegetarian, for fucks sake.
Using this study as proof that there are enough resources to support billions more people is beyond stupid. Humans are not an altruistic species. We already have the money and resources to adequately support everyone already existing, but just flat out refuse to, and always have.
Adding more people to this hellworld because some naive study assumes that at the last second of the eleventh hour before we hit 3c warming and run out of fresh water and arable land, we will evolve into a species capable of physics defing magic and perfect communism... is really, really, REALLY fucking stupid.
If we had less people companies would dump twice the amount of plastics in the ocean
Do you think plastic waste ending up in the ocean, is some kind of industry sanctioned punishment for falling birthrate or something? Or were you being sarcastic?
