"But global warming is a hoax. And even if it wasn't it's not our fault. People couldn't be the cause. And even if it is our fault there's nothing we could do about it." We have broken our world for the greed of a few. History will not be kind to us.
What are you quoting?

It has less space than USA and almost triple the population.
Its never made sense to me why the birthrate was so high in countries with deadly living conditions, meanwhile the population in the United States with excellent conditions is declining.
I wonder if data centres are as bad as cities for urban heat island effect
Earlier quoted context omitted.
> Good leadership and the desire to survive can keep some of us around. I would posit that good leadership and desire to survive could prevent humanity from retreating to the earth like naked mole rats.
I would posit that good leadership and desire to survive could prevent humanity from retreating to the earth like naked mole rats. It very well could. I like having contingency plans and not letting my survival and the survival of our civilization solely depend on the promises of congress critters. I also want to learn earth bending from the giant badgermoles so I am biased.
If you are reading this in your climate controlled northern hemisphere room, be reminded that the people suffering this are not just going to disappear, and they will need to live somewhere, somehow, and they will be more motivated than you will ever be. If you love your "western comfort" so much, the best thing you can do is to make sure other people than yourselves can also have a bare minimum of living conditions.
Yet somehow theres over a billion people.
We know that cutting down trees increases heat and intensifies drought but we continue to do it, how bad do things need to get before we reverse course?

Why is there a billion people in India if these conditions exist? It has less space than USA and almost triple the population. Its never made sense to me why the birthrate was so high in countries with deadly living conditions, meanwhile the population in the United States with excellent conditions is declining.
The well off, well educated city dwelling portion of the Indian population is approaching similar standards to the West, couples have maybe 1 or 2 children, women have more freedom to refuse, while the cost of raising a child to have a better life than they had is still low enough.
The poorer segments are gradually getting there, but it takes time.
I hope that the case isn't that you're not actually curious and are trying to imply that the population needs to be made to decline by force.
