But they are effective in reducing emissions.
This is an often repeated point, and many proponent of population reduction embrace it.

I think that's completely ignoring our consumption patterns. We're totally up to the challenge of burning twice the resources with only half the population.

I love the first world perspective. It pretends to be erudite while being completely inhuman. As if "emissions" are something you could ever get rid of. Any excuse to avoid making their own lives more efficient or the distribution of resources more fair.
I believe it was a joke.
What is a "fair" distribution of resources in your perspective, in general.

Edit: Um okay, downvotes are quite telling.
