The vast consensus is that mankind has been negatively influencing the

getting worse not better. Something needs to be done, and we need to

Might I suggest we decrease the population to say 30,000 year
sustainability plan of 500 million people?

This planet can't sustain 7 billion people. No one rational argues that.

If we are to sustain 7 billion people, we need a biologically friendly
cheap energy source we don't have with some storage break throughs we
don't have. Without these, mass starvation is guaranteed. We can argue
about the time line, but without oil, Africa isn't going to get the food
- and that means 2 billion starving.
