A rebuttal to " Human population reduction is not a quick fix for environmental problems"

[TreasonousBastard]

3. Neither is a "fix" much less a quick one...

there is no easy way to reduce human consumption and the Chinese have shown that there is no easy way to reduce population.

It's interesting to note that in the US, Europe and Japan, increasing wealth seems to track with fewer children, but also with increasing consumption, while less wealth tracks with more children but less consumption. Don't need arguing academics to see that happening.

And wars, famine, plague or whatever may reduce the population temporarily, but it bounces back as soon as the situation changes.
