The death of four billion people (more like six, and coupled with a world war level effort at carbon sequestration and move away from fossil fuels) need not be a mass murder. I'm not calling for mass murder, nor for withholding medical care for those who will die without it.

It begins with recognition, however unpopular, that we need to have a lot, lot, lot fewer children. For most people this would make life suicidally meaningless; their children are the only important thing in their lives.

Sorry but I think the survival of life on earth is more important than that.

People are starting to die from heatstroke. Crops are beginning to fail. And the wrong people are choosing to go childless.
