The primary threat to the planet is the human population explosion. The number of people vying for resources is expanding exponentially.

The existential threat to earth's population is partly itself, granted. Non-renewable resources are indeed finite. One way to cure it is to make the planet less habitable, with agriculture, transportation, and life itself subject to stronger, more frequent hurricanes and tornadoes, wildfires, floods, etc. induced by the ongoing extra energy being trapped by the atmosphere and warming the globe. A good pandemic against which we're powerless would also work. Only a mere 1 in 300 died here in this latest one. Think of results more in terms of the Black Death to whittle us back down to size. Maybe family planning wouldn't be that bad.

apparently the notion of not destroying our earth was in their remainder interest of the <2%..... |
