A decreasing population solves many, many problems and should not be opposed
because of the few problems it does create.
There are too many people for the planet to support everyone. There are not
enough resources for all. There is not enough room for wildlife and natural
places. There is not enough food.
The only way we have reached the current population is by massive exploitation
of fossil fuels, which must stop. Water resources for growing food are in
danger. There is not enough housing. We cannot sustain the population we have.
