More people means an increased demand for food, water,
housing, energy, healthcare, transportation, and more.

And all that consumption contributes to ecological
degradation, increased conflicts, and a higher risk
of large scale pandemics and so on.

Nuff said.

So "All the evidence" comes down to Foxy's mere unresearched assertions.

Why am I not surprised?

Here are the facts.

There is no such thing as "additional strain on resources". We aren't in danger of running out of resources. We have more resources today than yesterday and we'll more tomorrow. More oil, more food, more of everything except for commonsense and a reverence for the data.

If population is the problem then settle your little head since it is already being resolved. If the world's population isn't already in decline, it will be in the next decade or so.

But that will create other, bigger problems as people like the CCP are now realising (don't worry the Foxy's of the world will catch up or catch on). Because the only resource that truly matters and isn't in unlimited supply is the human brain and having less of them will be a problem if not a disaster

Today we desperately seek solutions to
climate change, water scarcity, pollution,
and Third World poverty. But of course you can't
use logic to dissuade someone who didn't use logic
to reach their viewpoint in the first place.

Meanwhile, unfit parents & just as unfit educators & unfit social engineers & unfit bureaucrats will increasingly fail to ensure that children can't develop a mentality that will make them responsible adults !

of course you can't
use logic to dissuade someone who didn't use logic
to reach their viewpoint in the first place.
Foxy,
There's logic & then there's academic logic, which one do you think will be more effective for the betterment of societies ?
We've had the latter for over 50 years now & no-one's too impressed hence the swings to the more logical conservative logic in smarter societies !

And Individual…did you learn anything you didn’t already know?
