    We don’t have an overpopulation problem, we have a resource distribution problem. Don’t you think it’s a little weird that we keep pushing this overpopulation narrative while the ultra-rich are having a dozen kids?

      I don’t mind billionaires hoarding kids and wives and cars and houses. Take their money and that would disappear.

      Resource distribution is a problem that needs to be solved but it’s a separate issue.

      If one person produces 8 tons of carbon dioxide and 4 other people produce 0.5 tons, redistributing so now 5 people produce 2 tons each doesn’t fix anything.

        Nonono, this is not a problem of individual people. The carbon that an individual person produces in any country is nothing compared to what a handful of powerful corporations produce. Buying into the narrative that we’re overpopulated is exactly what these corporations want you to do. Reducing population growth wouldn’t help with climate change because corporations would simply use that as excuse to produce more emissions.
