I thought this had been debunked and shown to be shitty science? At 8 billion, I’d say we’re doing fine.

Ironically we may be too far into the climate crisis for this statement to be true. We are now counting on enough free hands to work to repair the damage done. Too few hands, and we venture much further into the altered climate's future.

Nature doesn’t need our hands to fight this, if suddenly there is 7 billion people less, nature will reclaim a lot of land, more trees more CO2 captured, and at the same time 80+% less pollution, sadly the best course for the planet would be drastic population reduction or even our extinction, we are the planets plague
