From Bloomberg:
Forty years ago, scientists from 50 nations converged on Geneva to discuss what was then called the "CO2-climate problem." At the time, with reliance on fossil fuels having helped trigger the 1979 oil crisis, they predicted global warming would eventually become a major environmental challenge.
Now, four decades later, a larger group of scientists is sounding another, much more urgent alarm. More than 11,000 experts from around the world are calling for a critical addition to the main strategy of dumping fossil fuels for renewable energy: there needs to be far fewer humans on the planet.
[...] The scientists make specific calls for policymakers to quickly implement systemic change to energy, food, and economic policies. But they go one step further, into the politically fraught territory of population control. It "must be stabilized—and, ideally, gradually reduced—within a framework that ensures social integrity," they write.
Others disagree, stating
Fewer people producing less in greenhouse-gas emissions could make some difference in the danger that climate change poses over time. But whether we end up with 9, 10, or 11 billion people in the coming decades, the world will still be pumping out increasingly risky amounts of climate pollution if we don't fundamentally fix the underlying energy, transportation, and food systems.
Critics blast a proposal to curb climate change by halting population growth

Funny, how the people who ended up at top of evolution, for several reasons, including luck, are now nothing but wrong or guilty...
This will probably be hammered home by the coming years: you do not have rights.
Despite the disturbing attitude of the immigrants in developed nations, they do not wish to go home, they actually want the life they can get there.
But since the "default thruthspeaker" of the current times is the woman, no rules are enforced, and all are welcome to "send out signals to society".
Eventually, the woman and disturbing immigrants will get slapped down, there will be a bloodbath or two, and the "developed" parts of the world will simply defend the borders from the hordes of various immigrants that will try to flood the calmer parts of the world.
This is it.
There is no reason to have other opinions, except to give up what you have, and the all will have nothing.
