Why should we want population growth? Our climate is collapsing and our "leaders" have failed consistently for the 35+ years—despite clear warnings from climate scientists—to slash fossil fuel production and use. In fact, they did the EXACT OPPOSITE. And despite all the noise they make, they continue to increase.
So, I don't—and none of us should—care what political elites want. WE want them to effing slash fossil fuels and stabilize the climate.
If they can't do that, we'd be stupid to bring more children into a world that businessmen and politicians actively destroying.
