In order to actually fight climate change, we should start by trying to reduce the population in the future. Less people = more resources per person.
Good news: its happening in developed countries already. South Korea's birth rate in 2020 was 0.84 kids per woman. In order to keep population stable you need 2 births per woman. I think there is an imminent collapse in demographics that will be coming within the next 20-30 years.
Developing nations still have higher population growth but eventually itll all even out.
