Got a chuckle while reading a letter in the last edition. The thought was that capping population growth would have little impact on curbing climate change, as long as humans were to continue eating meat and using fossil fuels. Seems to me that neither MacTofu franchises nor electric Harleys for the Hell’s Angels would be an easy sell.
I might find myself agreeing with the letter’s premise if all parents over the next 30 or 40 years dedicated themselves and their 3-4 billion children/grandchildren into becoming vegetarian pedestrians. Of course another option might be to join the new Space Corps and circle our dying planet, though that apparently didn’t work out too well for Major Tom.
