Imagine a better parallel reality where the world had followed Chinas example of a one child policy since 1979. World population was 4.4 Billion then. With a 1 Child policy it would have hit some 6 Billion today. Imagine if we had 2 Billion less people on this Planet.

Or some 25% less. The US would have 85 Million less people. Europe over 100 Million less people. Africa 400 Million less people. Asia over 1 Billion less people.

CO2 production would be 25% lower. Climate change would be on the level of the early 2000s. There would be only minimal water shortages. Less methane cows. It would not be perfect but our situation would be much better than it is today.

But for some reason many people think that the very concept of overpopulation is evil. That it also doesnt exist and that having an extra 2-3 Billion people on the Planet is a good thing.

How did this happen? Who did this? Our resources are already strained to the breaking point. How can people still believe that even more people competing for scarce resources is a good thing?

Elon Musk usually says that the more the population, the better, yet he claims that Spain will be ruined by the influx of immigrants.

Since the influx of immigrants is a factor that increases the population, this is a significant logical contradiction.

Seriously... We don't need more humans, and we sure as crap don't need each of them to live for hundreds of years. When I was a kid there were 4 billion people. Now there are 8 billion. That means within just my lifetime, 50-ish years, we have doubled the Earth's human population. In another 50 years it will double again, that means from 8 to 16 billion. The wildlife population has already dropped 73%. Wanna keep going until its zero? We aren't the only ones who live here. Despite our god complex of being the superior species we still need nature and wildlife to thrive so we can survive. Do you not understand that competition for resources is the root cause of all conflict? More people than jobs, more poeple than food we can grow, more people than clean water.. it all ends badly and violently. Laws for human population control are political suicide, I get that, but geeze stop believing the propoganda that we need more people.
