Absolutely excellent account of the human population overshoot problem that most people will not acknowledge. High birth rates are often driven by men for cultural, economic, religious and military purposes. There is little evidence for such high birth rates over the last 300,000 years until the advent of agriculture (stored energy) that required policing and fiefdoms. In New Zealand, immigration is used for economic growth, and universities focus on exponential student growth of 2-3% per year. The people or students are not the focus in these cases, its growth of the machine. We need to move from seeing “environmental” problems everywhere to seeing human overpopulation everywhere (Global North and South). If wellbeing was equally spread across Earth, the global average ecological footprint requires 1.8 planets. Enough said.
