Does Net-0 Carbon emissions require depopulation?
As humans become more and more numerous, requiring more and more technology to survive via farming machines, factories, and electronic devices, it brings more and more pollution to our biosphere. One thing is starting to become clear, every human that is born means more carbon to deal with. The implications are disturbing; that reaching a net-0 carbon goal might just mean getting rid of humans, after all, 2000 years ago when we had less tech and less population the climate wasn’t much of concern. My question is simple, shall we or our planet die?
I think that as time goes on, we will find a way in order to avoid us dying and the planet dying. But I think that your question is too big to ask and there is really no correct answer. All we can do is try and lower our own carbon footprint to save the planet.
