Does a smaller population not benefit everyone?
In: Planetary Science
Yes, at this stage of human history a radical drop in the number of human beings on planet earth would benefit our species as a whole. For the last two centuries human beings have been trashing both land and sea at a rate that would not have been possible or even imaginable throughout the previous ten thousand years of civilization. Advances in medicine and nutrition have grossly lengthened the life span of the average citizen of the rich, North Atlantic societies and have even had a similar impact on those hot, crowded societies where no sane human being would have ever chosen to be born (had informed choice been an option).
