      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

          JFC you’re a child. Who do you think is doing all the consuming? Hint: It ain’t rabbits.

            I’m so grown up that I don’t have to resort to slinging insults. Obviously it’s humans doing the consumption. I’m saying that 1, overpopulation has been a eugenicist talking point forever; and 2, that cold blooded, infinite growth, profits-over-planet consumerism is what makes our society unsustainable, not necessarily the 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.

        I hadn’t seen those numbers, is it a result of anthropogenic climate change?

          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.
