As far as i heard, the population seems to be levelling out?
i'll believe it when i see it. Maybe when we get to the point where the global population declines, year over year, for like...2-5 years in a row we can talk about that.

Some do. But all you need to do is look around the fediverse and find people who do not respond in this way in fact.

jordan peterson is pretty much explicitly arguing for this outcome in #biblicalSeriesV. He knows full well that more people means less land per person, and when presented with a choice of levelling or not he choose not. With the argument [not explicitly made] that only those with wealth can drag the rest out of poverty.

for sure, but in fact, people *do* use more fossil fuels if given the chance, which they are going to be with time.
