What if those chemicals will depopulate some humans in the end saving the world?

Population isn’t the problem. Consumption is.

Yeah, the meme about the world being overpopulated really needs go away. Having fewer people doesn't mean "more for the rest of us" but fewer people doing useful work.

Morally I find the notion that the Earth is overpopulated to be evil. The problems we see from “overpopulation” is not too many humans, but instead artificial scarcity and a shortage in land.

Consequently I don’t believe the people who say space colonization won’t fix most of our issues.

Sounds great, so long as it’s not me or anyone I care about.

I should have worded that as "all humans" instead of "some humans"
