A lot of environmentalists would push back on that, because a large proportion of environmental problems come from the over-consumption of the richest 10% of the world’s population, not the far more numerous poorer population. I’m simplifying the arguments, but blaming over-population can imply that the poorest are to blame with higher birth rates, when in fact they contribute very little to the climate crisis and we should be addressing inequality and over-consumption.
