    Your argument that overconsumption is the culprit but not population doesn’t make sense when the equation is (Population X Consumption)= Environmental impact.

    There is no consumption without the population.

    And virtually all the published everything about overpopulation is fully onboard that first world consumption needs to come down and 3rd world needs to go up to be fair.

    Why does everyone think talking about overpopulation means you are hitler looking for lebensraum?

      Why does everyone think talking about overpopulation means you are hitler looking for lebensraum?

      Because that’s exactly what it sounds like the path that people are alluding to when they mention overpopulation before or especially without overconsumption. I used to think that overpopulation was the problem too, but I have come to my senses.
