Actually the world population is starting to decline. People have value. I'm not sure what the optimal world population is, but as it goes down it's going to be painful as demographics shift.

    Human population is not declining. The acceleration rate of population increase is decreasing. It's still going ever faster and faster, just a little less faster than we were. And it's still an absolutely staggering, incomprehensible population increase.

    And then there's the animal farming to consider. Hey, what happened to the Amazon?

    You think it's starting to decline, the evidence is remaining to be seen.

    Talk to me when we hit 7.5bn and we can start to care.

    go away

    Well I doubt I'll still be alive when we get back down to 7 billion and are in free fall.
    Yes I was wrong when I said population was in decline. The rate of population growth is slowing down, so we can predict a decline starting in like 50 years.
