True, but that curve is flattening out. The UN predicts human population will peak 10.43 billion in 2086 and begin to decline from there: https://ourworldindata.org/future-population-growth (Obviously, the error bars for a prediction like that are large.) Many developed countries are already losing population: https://www.worlddata.info/populationgrowth.php An even larger fraction of developed countries would be losing population already if it wasn't for immigration. This suggests that as the developing world becomes more like the developed world, human population will be less of a concern for the global environment. My perhaps radical position is that two best solutions for surviving climate change are birth control and education for women. The fewer people we need to keep alive, the more easily we'll be able to adapt to the changing climate. |

I think it’s a bit late for what you are proposing however. Most of the world population is quite young.
