All indications point toward population leveling off at 10 billion, since so many countries are below replacement rate.
And while degrowth is a worthy goal, and replacing cars with public transport is far, far better than swapping all of them to EV's, it would still be better to replace all ICE cars with EV's environmentally speaking, as they would be polluting their local environments much less (poor air quality in cities kills thousands, and much if it is ICE cars), and they would also be contributing much less greenhouse gasses (though public transport would be an even bigger decrease).
Agreed!
If population levels off at 10 bilion, I just hope these 10 bilions will be people trying to manage our ressources in a responsible way.
