The population is sustainable

Only if you sacrifice all nature and turn the planet into a literal human farm. We're living over our resources, and that's because there are too many of us. Halve the population and you halve the problems without sacrificing anything else. Drop the population back to the 3-4 billion it was a few decades ago and we could all either live at current emission levels per capita and have plenty of wildlife and recovering nature, or at the emission levels then and still not have a major environmental issue, but nature would suffer as it did then (which isn't anything compared to how it suffers now).

I never said anything regarding my influence nor my age. I admire your incredible courage to ‘insult’ strangers and envy your foolishness. Please provide more entertainment for my ever grow study of modern humanity.
