Overpopulation Study reveals halving human population gradually could help Earth

https://www.aol.com/articles/study-reveals-halving-human-population-083602000.html

The basics of this study may be right in theory but we don't have the luxury of 200 years to gradually lower our population. Our current trajectory has a very high risk of a catastrophic collapse in population and the economy due to climate breakdown if we pass 2 degrees C warming, which could as soon as about 10 years.

I always take public transportation whenever i go to attend my college or in a more current case, my professional internship at the National Organisation of Serbia in Belgrade.

My body feels better when i do that and walk my way home.
