Right, populate trends have effects. That should go without saying.. but that’s not at all related to a country “not surviving”.

There are many times in life where change is needed even though that change creates trade offs and new problems to solve.

So really in the context of this thread the question should be, “which problem is easier to solve or less dire: climate change or gradual population stagnation?”

I can’t say I have the answer, but a stable society without requiring population growth does not seem off the table to me.
