    Population will not forever grow, this is already forecasted by established scientists.

    My point is that countries experiencing lower-than -replacement-birthrate should allow it, with the acknowledgement that climate refugees will come to fill their job positions. Over a longer period, birth rate should continue to be allowed to sink, as future humanity grapples with a post-climate-crisis world.

    A far flung generation can have new opinions, when they’ve survived our sins, mastered technology, and can make a new try

    To repeat: I don’t think any group should be “reduced” via external pressure. Only that groups could be allowed to contract naturally, without policy intervention to “boost” birthrate. Immigration should serve.

      wasn’t suggesting it will. Just suggesting that if the current birth rates are above 2, there’s no way to say that we could passively “let” the population decline if that’s not what it’s actually doing. Globally the population is still growing. It will either decline on its own, eventually, or someone will implement malthusian policies.
