Why the downvote? The article is clearly concern trolling. Look, if you are worried about overpopulation, the US isn't your primary area of concern. The US is not overpopulated and probably never will be. Maybe some US cities are, but compared to China, India, and Indonesia, we have no overpopulation problem. I'm not sure that "being alarmed" is a good state of mind to be in--Americans suffer from crisis fatigue as it is.

The human race isn't going to solve its problems without either leaving the earth or having a massive die-off. You first.

The article has nothing to do with overpopulation
ALL of our problems of this sort are due to overpopulation. That's an unfortunate truth that nobody wants to talk about.
Everything described by the fearmongers has to do with too much human activity. How is that not related to nearly 8 billion people on earth?
Fearmongers?

> Everything described by the fearmongers has to do with too much human activity

Then should read better, because it is not the case. Or perhaps you can give us links to those "fearmongers".

And by fearmongers youre not talking about climate scientists, isn't?

Yes, the article is blatant fear mongering. Every time a climate issue comes up it mentions human activity as the cause of all our problems. Outside of a Hail Mary technological solution, there is only one way to reduce human activity and that is to have fewer humans.

Still waiting any source, but I suppose youd don't have any

What am I supposed to be doing? Proving a negative or something?
