If you want fewer people there is an easily available solution for reducing it by one. All the people who think there are too many people could do the same. I suspect they think that there are too many OTHER people and they themselves are just fine and like a jewel in the cosmos. Don't worry about climate change aka global warming aka the greenhouse effect aka climate weirding. It's a big con job by self-dealing scamsters who want opm. After 120 years of huge effort to find, produce and burn coal, oil and gas all we have achieved is getting CO2 from mass starvation levels of 280 parts per million to a derisory 400 parts per million. When plants thrived CO2 was 8000 parts per million. Plants consumed it by the petaton and geological processes buried it for millions of years. That vast tragedy of the commons reduced CO2 all the way to 280 ppm. Thankfully, Gaia invented humans to rescue the carbon from doom and the world from Snowball Earth frozen waste. If CO2 gets to 600 ppm it might be worth reconsidering. But long before then, people will find ways to avoid doing their share of buying and burning carbon. For example cyberspace, insulation, electric bicycles, photovoltaics, batteries, all give people ways to avoid doing their share of keeping CO2 levels up. But people are also getting older and the awful consequence of that is that we die of old age. So far it has happened to everyone sooner or later. Of the 7 billion of us now enjoying the world, by 2100 hardly anyone will be left. And those lazy blighters will have found ways to avoid buying carbon to burn. Maybe there will be enough born to maintain a quorum but women are choosing to have few babies so it's not a double your money back guarantee that people will hold the line. Most extinctions have had little to do with people. It's hideously competitive out there. Of all the species that have ever existed, those finished by people in the last 100 years is almost zero = nowhere near 1%. I can think of many species I'd like extinct. Tapeworms, great white sharks, mosquitoes, fleas, malaria, smallpox, polio, diphtheria, meningitis, tuberculosis, mumps, tetanus, medusa jellyfish [I got seriously attacked by one in August - they are vicious], killer whales should be cut back to not many to give other species some space, pit bull dogs, various snakes, crocodiles should be nearly all turned into shoes and handbags and dinner, same for alligators.
