Saving the earth from human induced environmental destruction is a lot simpler than changing beliefs and attitudes about the science, something I've found nearly impossible to do because of various biases. No matter what people believe there's no question that global population control is at least 75% of the solution to any environmental issue and possibly 100% if the limitations are a low enough number. Limiting the world's population to a certain agreed upon number obviates the need to change any other attitude, belief, or environmental policy. This is so obvious and simple it mystifies me why no one else writes about it. Our slogan is "Limit the number of PIGS and we can all be PIGS." I think no one will disagree that humans are inately pigs. Limit the number of pigs and we can all be scientifically illiterate and wasteful pigs. Don't limit the number of pigs, even if scientifically honest and informed, nothing we do or believe will save the planet.
