10 minutes in and the video is yet to explain how a large population doesn&#x27;t burden the environment more than a small one. Instead, all that time was spent explaining how racist it is to worry about overpopulation.<p>I did not watch any further. Unless the author believes the Earth&#x27;s ecosystems are doing just fine and climate change isn&#x27;t a problem, then I assume he&#x27;d welcome any solution that reduced the human per-capita environmental impact by 50%, and would warn against any lifestyle change that increased it by 50%.<p>But we&#x27;re supposed to ignore environmental impact that comes from population growth?

&quot;Imperial core&quot;, at least he acknowledges the reality of neo-colonialism. I disagree with the answer being socialist propaganda like a worker movement or protesting.<p>Fossil fuels are one part of the problem only.<p>Why do you think corporations and governments are focusing on enabling electric cars instead of trains and trams?<p>Having national referendums with 60% vote requirement for approval (ranked choice) on proposed solutions is my suggestion.
