The globe has too many people. We are changing the climate, we are polluting our atmosphere and our oceans, and we are using up our resources. Humans are already beyond the long-run carrying capacity. One bright spot in our over-population was China, which had a one-child per couple policy for decades.
Now China has announced an easing of this policy. Couples will be allowed to have more than one child. This is being celebrated in the west as a step forward freedom. It isn’t.
It may be that the 1.34 billion Chinese will have two million more births on top of the approximately 15 million births per year. I don’t see this as a cause for celebration. I see this as another nail in the coffin of human habitation on this planet.
