> Tell other people (especially if you're in a developing country) not to have too many children

That’s my bullshit detector. All of the friends heavily engaged in global fight, to the point of leading a 500-people EU startup on ecology… have finally changed their minds and have children.

My bullshit detector is, so is ecology more important for you than immigration? Because for me, if you use immigration in parallel to ecology, then you’re just nullifying the results, while asking me to take less space, which is just the usual leftist ideology.

Turns out, after interviewing dozens, that none of the ecologists, really care about ecology. None of them are sincere. None of them are honest when presented figures. None of them are upfront about their desires and projects.

It’s just that they want less of people like me. Has always been.

None of the scientific evidence I have studied has withheld the “what if we didn’t do it the leftist way” test.

The instinct to procreate is obviously very powerful? Also increasing use of birth control in developing countries can improve the situation?

This won't work. You have no instrument on actually limiting child birth and no one ever will have it. While some nations might listen to that advice, others simply won't. Then what?

We already have a method for reducing birth rates that has worked 100% of the time - end extreme poverty, send girls to school and provide basic healthcare.

This method somewhat works. But the person above really thinks asking people politely would achieve anything.
