Age Poll on population size and carbon emissions mitigation

The article stated that "A key reason that massive population growth has not led to disaster has been the extraordinary growth in agricultural productivity." Yes, the "green revolution" thanks to Norman Borlaug in the 1960s gave us a 40 years reprieve of higher productivity. He warned of the "population monster" that needed addressing. That time has finished now, and natural resources are dwindling. People naively see science and technology will produce the black-box with solutions to global food production and ecological overshoot, but the scientists and growers aren't so confident. The end of poverty and food security will come with population stability, and decline. We are heading into a time when the planet has never had so many people, and so few wildlife. The species biomass balance has been turned upside down. Our planet is facing many challenges, and with heavier human numbers, the problems now will only get worse. As for anthropogenic climate change, of course population size needs to be addressed. The I=PAT equation can't ignore the major cause of daily emissions - human activities and affluence (A), technology that uses energy (T), and population size. (P) Reducing A and T while P is increasing it obviously counterproductive. (This is what a lot of environmental groups do - ignore the P!)
