Birthrates are plummeting worldwide. Can governments turn the tide? Nations are deploying baby bonuses, subsidised childcare and parental leave – largely to no avail.

    Nonsense. That’s an extremely ignorant statement. The current population level has been doing massive damage to our planet. https://github.com/MaximilianKohler/Archive/wiki#some-of-the-major-problems

      Your entire argument is climate change? You do know climate change is not a root problem, it is a symptom right? Kill capitalism and you save the planet.

      Also, you’re just proving my point. The vast majority of ecological destruction and GHG emissions come from the top 10% of the population in terms of wealth. In other words, most Americans, Canadians, Australians, and Europeans - capitalist countries. If we the 10-15% stopped living such excessively lavish lives, the planet could sustain us all.

            Then you may be allowing preconceptions and biases to prevent you from processing new and contradictory information.
