There are too many people on the earth; so far I have not seen even a remotely sensible and realizable suggestion how to down size.
Earth climate is changing, it never has been stable; there has been snowball earth and climate several degrees warmer than now. That heat did not kill life on earth, it might have killed something like the present civilization, nobody knows.
I am not at all convinced of the presently pushed data on human influence on climate. The models first have to be able to explain all the past changes (which they so far apparently have not been able to do) and then add the human part. I have not seen that done. Until that happens I take the Climate Frenzy just as another "End of the world" cult and nothing more.
That does not mean that we should not do something. Mainly consume less and design better because we do have that capability. The present economic model used just does not allow that to happen and centrally ordered change has a very bad track record.
I don't know what should be done and I have a bad feeling that nobody does, at least nobody with any sense.
