Who is going to tell people to have fewer kids? or to "lower" their lifestyle? It is taboo.

Who is going to tell people that the concept of tourism does not scale? and the most resources you require, the most inefficient you are?

Not the political authorities, influencers or people admired due to their lifestyle (who happen to be the most influential).

The people compulsively consuming resources should be given some form of mental health support so they stop marsforming the planet.

Tourism is ecocide, we should make it illegal. Halloween and similar events too.

No need really, most (all?) western countries and large swathes of the rest of the world are already below replacement rate.

It took all of human history up to 1800 AD to reach a population of 1 billion.

Now, in the next 30 years we will have grown by almost 2 billion.

Don't you see the problem?
