a population of 11bn is unsustainable. We can’t bury our head in the sand on overpopulation just because it’s not politic to do so.
---
Is it though? I mean, at the rate we're going 7bn is unsustainable. The number isn't the issue, it's how we're living.
And besides, I thought the current wisdom was that we'll top out at around 10bn. Birth rates drop as countries get wealthier.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If it were about crude numbers, why is it that the carbon footprint of the one billion or so in the most advanced countries have a carbon footprint that dwarfs that of the six billion or so others?
If you look at it in terms of the amount of biomass represented by the totality of the human population, we're much smaller than the total biomass of ants and bugs. No one is afraid of overpopulation of insects on planet earth though, because they have overall a neutral or even positive impact on their ecosystems: they put back as much as, or more than, they take out. We've known for decades that it's technologically totally possible for humans to live within low- / zero- / positive-impact systems. If we can't live without destroying the habitats we rely on, it's down to lack of political will, lack of the psychological tools, to make adjustments. We're a peculiar bunch: too clever, and not clever enough.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I think we're clever enough as a race to sort it out. Like I've said a bunch of times already, the technology is there right now to start fixing it. We can extract carbon from the air and bury it in the ground.
Now, I'm no fan of billionaires or the ruling elite, but they won't want to go extinct any more than we do. Probably less as they have so much more to lose.. Maybe I'm deluded but I am entirely convinced all this will get sorted out. They just want to make every penny they can from fossil fuels and figure out how to sell us clean air before they do it.

Anyway, I’ve done my bit. Got rid of my second car and replacing the other with a Tesla. Conscience is clear.

Averaged out, 74% of any vehicle's carbon footprint stems from its manufacture.

I'm thinking China heads that list as it is basically the manufacturing centre of the world.
Funny that. Jobs sent there to maximise profits. Oh yeah and to improve China's civil/human rights record. And some people believed that crock.

Selling clean air. Price varies with quality of said air.
I've been saying that for years and using the example of idiots who buy bottled water. This was hardly a thing 40 years ago, now I believe its one of the biggest sources of plastic pollution.

“Frightening read, but the real question is when will world leaders finally step up and confront this threat?”
That isn’t the real question, given we have the leaders *we* elected.
The question is: When are people going to start taking responsibility for their own direct and indirect impacts on the environment?
