Humanity is just going to go through a culling. There will definitely be humans and there will definitely be habitable areas of the planet but there won’t be room for all 8 billion of us and depending on how much we actually do right now will determine how big the actual final number is
I dunno why the assumption is that everyone who makes the observation on overpopulation is so self-interested that they can’t imagine their own demise as part of it. We’ll all die in the approaching climate disaster, including you and me. The difference between now and later is small on a geological timescale.

And honestly, would that be such a bad thing? 8 freaking billion of us is at least 7.5B too many.
People who say this imagine themselves and their families in the 0.5B but will end up in the 7.5B, suffering immeasurably in the process.
Nah I tried to get as close to the cities I think would be bombed so that I can go out in a puff of ozone
Nope, there’s nothing special about me or my family. We’re just insignificant eurotrash. Odds we’d be among the survivors are very low.
“Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.”
Yeah, fuck that Bircher Bullshit from “The Guidestones.”
And you’ll be first in line to be a member of the 7.5B that gets culled, right?
You can kill me right now if you want.

Spare your self-contempt for somebody that cares.
You asked.
I did, unfortunately.
Actually yes, but that has more to do with 20 years of crippling depression and chronic pain than the coming climate disasters.
