Excuse me for this tangent, but when it comes to environmental concerns, why do we still skirt around the largest elephant in the room?
Curbing population growth.
We have laws against almost every "natural human instinct/desire":
X Murder
X Rape
X Theft, even if you're stealing food when you're starving
X Taking shelter in property that you don't own, even if you were freezing to death
X In some countries: Being with whom you love
So why are we resisting laws against "Making babies whenever you want" and not even discussing them without annoyed dismissals and instant shutdowns?
Is it because the people who shape the zeitgeist — First world countries — have yet to experience the horrors of rampant overpopulation?
People who vehemently argue against population control, ought to own up to the fact that we should then guarantee access to food, shelter and healthcare for every new human.
You shouldn't expound one human right only to continue to prevent everyone from many other rights.
