And honestly, would that be such a bad thing? 8 freaking billion of us is at least 7.5B too many.
People who say this imagine themselves and their families in the 0.5B but will end up in the 7.5B, suffering immeasurably in the process.
Nah I tried to get as close to the cities I think would be bombed so that I can go out in a puff of ozone
Nope, there's nothing special about me or my family. We're just insignificant eurotrash. Odds we'd be among the survivors are very low.
And you'll be first in line to be a member of the 7.5B that gets culled, right?
You can kill me right now if you want.
I dunno why the assumption is that everyone who makes the observation on overpopulation is so self-interested that they can't imagine their own demise as part of it. We'll all die in the approaching climate disaster, including you and me. The difference between now and later is small on a geological timescale.
Spare your self-contempt for somebody that cares.
You asked.
I did, unfortunately.
Actually yes, but that has more to do with 20 years of crippling depression and chronic pain than the coming climate disasters.
