i hear alot of people these days talk about global warming and greenhouse gases. everybody seems to think they have some kind of plan to decrease emissions by 30%, or 50% or 80% depending on who you listen to but i never hear anything about constantly multiplying human race. if in 20 years we reduce our emission output by 50% but at the same time double the population are we not still producing the same emissions? along with more consumption and more waste of everything from food to synthetic products. ever expanding humanity will eventually choke out all other species along with ourselves. it seems like simple math. if there were only say 100,000 people on the planet imagine how much less food, energy and material we would need to harvest from this planet. 

i'm not suggesting to stop having children but maybe if every two people produced one instead of 3 we could make significant reductions in our impact to the planet instead of just pretending to.

if we can't , i'm sure the planet will get along just fine without us.
