They also sell the rainforest lumber, but lifestyle changes aside we should always pursue a lower total population via lower birthrates until we can restore natural order.

China was a developing nation a long time ago, and since 1700 their population has grown 11x over, and now they produce more emissions and utilize more landmass than any other nation on earth.

Total emissions or per capita?

[–] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 2 points 6 hours ago

less capita = less emissions

Chinese leadership are trying to promote population growth, again.
