On mobile Firefox this page loads briefly, and is then replaced by a blank white page. I don't understand why it continues to be so difficult to make a web page

Because it rendered just fine for me in Microsoft Edge. Seriously, when it renders fine in one browser but not in another, what's a web page builder to do? Especially when they're sitting atop of a content management system which in turn are sitting atop of mountains of web frameworks? This has been the problem of web for the past 30 years - the renderer takes an input and produces a rendering of that input. Who know…

Fix their obviously broken thing, of course.

Controlling population growth is out of picture, so humanity stands no chance.

Controlling population growth is mostly a red herring. In most countries births have already peaked. We can be quite sure that the total population will peak also quite soon. Also, any action taken would require many decades to show any difference. Climate change requires decisive action effective within the next 20 years.

But more importantly: the creation of CO2-Emissions is very unevenly distributed. Even if there were only 1 billion humans on the planet, if they emitted as much carbon as the average US citizen, climate change would still be an issue. So the one action to take is carbon-neutrality. Fortunately, we have all the necessary technologies, we need to strongly push for their global rollout.
