How Earth Survived

Back in September 2019, Time published a special climate issue. It included this 30-year to-do list:



Although impressive, it does not include the one thing most scientists say is the biggest problem we have - there are far too many humans, and our numbers keep growing.

Technology will not save us nor will changing our behavior, unless such changes include decreasing our population to less than one billion (perhaps even less than that). And if we won't do that voluntarily, then I would expect the powers that be will do it for us (or to us, depending on your point of view).

And that means disease, war, and/or famine, all of which are now on our doorstep.
