Certainly true. However, it's also true that energy use is one of
the most environmentally damaging activities in which we numerous
humans engage. I'm all for reducing population, and support a
couple of population groups with charitable contributions. Does
that mean we should wait to clean up energy use, and do it only
by reducing population? It does not.
