      Owls and rabbits aren’t the ones burning fossil fuels. Since I was born, 74% of the animals have gone.

      Yeah, overpopulation is long past, we’re at apocalyptic now.

        Sounds like a capitalism overconsumption problem more than population

      Well, it’s a problem that will solve itself. Most estimates say that the world’s popularion will peak around 2080 and start to decline after that.

          More a result of countries managing to get over the industrial revolution population spike, and getting into the modern age. Once you have access to modern medicine, and the birth mortality and child mortality rates plummet, people stop having so many kids.
