Except it isn't.

Birth rates are falling but production per person is still increasing.

Reducing the amount of people doesn't solve the unnecessary and wasteful overproduction.

Wtf are you talking about? Birth rates are leading directly to reduced population. Do you just disagree with ppl for fun?

And the reduced population isn't resulting in a reduction in production. Do you not know how to follow a train of logic?

You mean the topic of how reducing our population is claimed to help solve climate change concerns by reducing our resource consumption? You did read the article posted, right?

You do understand that if we don't reduce production then the consumption isn't reduced, right?

Seems like you're the one struggling to keep track of what's being discussed.

Low birth rates are reducing the population. That's the entire point I made. You just added everything else and then picked a fight over it.

Bruh you're the one who commented on the post about reducing populations to help solve climate issues. Sorry you're fucking slow

I can't talk about a post unless I talk about all of it? Maybe read the room FFS instead of jumping into the "No you're wrong!" habit you seem to have.
