        What about the sewage of billions of people?

        It’s like people talk about cows and their 50 kg/head/yr of methane they burp up. And sure there’s a billion cows! That’s 50 million metric tons! The sky is falling everybody!

        Wait…

        How about the 8 billion people with their four metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions every year? That’s 32 billion metric tons.

        I’m afraid human hubris beats cow gas by three orders of magnitude.

        The downfall of civilization will be civilization itself.

            • Comprehensive sexual education.

            • Education, in general, and career opportunities for women.

            • Make contraceptives widely accessible.

            • Improve contraceptive options available to men.

            • Acceptance of people who choose to not reproduce. Stop second-guessing, berating, or pressuring them to change their minds.

            Note that none of what I suggest here is infringing on anyone’s rights.

            I’m thinking the oligarchs are cool with massive depopulation of poors. That seems to be the plan, imo.

          What if we eat people? Diminishing food source, diminishing population, diminishing poop. Eventually the problem solves itself, though technically last person standing has to eat themselves.
