Our current growth has almost made the planet uninhabitable. We need degrowth.

"Has almost made the planet uninhabitable" The Earth is definitely worse off since we have proliferated, but this is such a clickbaity untrue statement.

Humanity has and will continue to cause changes to the world that are negative, I agree, and that sucks. But like it or not, humanity is good at adapting and surviving, and we will be fine, even with the worldwide population overall continuing to grow for a very long time into the future.

LoL. You think we’re gonna grow gills or something? How do you think we’ll adapt to food chain collapse?

I’m sure that life will adapt in some form, but most life in the history of this planet has not been human. And we would not be this planet’s first mass extinction event.

This isn't just about humans. We're in a mass extinction period caused by humans. We need to lower our population to save other species
