Right, let's just sit around in our tents in the dark and try not to move or speak unless absolutely necessary. Moving is not always essential, and has a caloric cost, which means food consumption. Are you sure being on this site right now is actually necessary? In fact, why bother being alive at all?

Yeah, have fun with that. I'm going to enjoy my life!

Tents are made from nylon, and nylon is made from fossil fuels!

Jiminy Cricket, you're right! We shall build dung huts instead to be even more eco-friendly

Nerd snipe: Will the sequestered carbon from a grass and dung hut make up for the CO2 expended in manual labour to build one.

Humanity can have just 2 modes of operation (3th one is fake path). 1) is to consume less and less, so we end up like living in tents in dark with population 10B and more.. 2) Smart-manage population growth and cut bullshit jobs, so we end up with 200M-300M people living good live.

The choise is yours. I personally would go with (2) option, but its just me.

Before anyone hit the downvote button, think about it in math. You only have limited amount of resources and energy. How you distribute it, is up to you.
