It's a tragedy in slow motion. Symptom or cause, this will make the next decades very bleak.

Almost everything is based on infinite growth and an increasing amount of consumers/taxpayers. Breaking the ponzi scheme now is as good as breaking it in 50 years
Arguably better, since the ponzi scheme runs on under-constrained fossil fuel extraction and exhaustion that is both unsustainable and risks collapsing the planetary biosphere.

The sooner we stop assuming this planet can support unlimited human beings, the better.

Exactly on point. The more we grow the bigger the future catastrophe.
