We are already having fewer children. This may cause more issues as the average age of a population will skyrocket
Better to have those issues than massive resource shortages that cause migration and war.
I mean, those are coming regardless. We were fucked twenty years ago and it has only gotten worse.
Yes, they've already started, like in Syria, but we can and should mitigate and adapt instead of sticking our heads in the sand.
More people also means more hands to get more resources.
We're already past sustainable limits globally for many key resources.
In fact the Europeans not having kids will increase migratiom quite a lot.
