        Richest one percent are responsible for same level of climate warming as the 5 billion poorest people so yeah it would.

          Right, but we’re not talking about the poorest half here.

          Population is declining in Japan, Korea, Europe and North America. That’s not the poorest half by a long shot.

        The article suggest halving the global population by 2200. So not some nuclear war or disease killing half of humans basically over night. So more Japan and less nuclear war.

              I’m not defending them. They are horrible and should be guillotined.

              But it’s disingenuous to think that reducing our population by half wouldn’t have a greater impact.

              Feel free to provide sources to prove me wrong.
