Hey @jainrounak, are you just paid to report everything @elonmusk says as though it is not clueless? US population is currently projected to break 400m by 2060. Everything Musk says about population is incorrect. Tell him to read @Planet3Billion. #clueless

@BarnardPhoebe One could reasonably argue that the left+right wings of society have been aligned in favor of #pronatalism since at least the 1970s.
Evidence includes the pronatalist, pro-growth responses to things like NSSM 200 + POTUS Nixon’s Rockefeller Commission. 🤯

Elon Musk is so concerned about people choosing to have small families that he's funding some strange research on potential future population 'collapse.' Here's why this is dangerous: https://t.co/il9iUkyRzt
Check out Chris Tucker's podcast episode! He discusses his book "A Planet of 3 Billion," and how low birth rates lead to happier parents & more successful kids @PLANETucker@Planet3Billion

Perhaps, @ErinNMcGarry , you are interested in reframing the #ClimateEmergency in a more productive manner. Perhaps you will find it in my recent @TEDxPenn talk entitled “Hastening the Inevitable Demographic Revolution”. #todayclimate Give it a watch! https://t.co/YnDN4ub1Yp
The geographic and demographic factotum @PLANETucker in this great TED talk on the future of the world population: https://t.co/AlhaW0X3Q9
@AmericanGeo
Prescient thinking about earth’s ability to only support 3B people and how we might get there. Very interesting @TEDx talk on this topic by my good friend Chris Tucker @PLANETucker.
Check it out…

Check out this TEDx presentation by the wonderful @PLANETucker !! He is always looking for feedback👀

Our current population of 8 billion and counting is putting unprecedented pressure on our finite planet. @PLANETucker is optimistic that we can get down to 3 billion in a century from now by investing in women and girls. 🙌 https://t.co/rciC6KjyQt
Time to hasten the inevitable demographic transition through increased investment in women and girls worldwide, with an eye for achieving a TFR of 1.5 by 2030, bending the global population curve forever, and achieving 3B by roughly 2120. That MIGHT save the planet.
Well, even @antonioguterres, w/ all his fine words, refuses to recognize the role of population growth (80m+ per year) in planetary destruction. You know he understands the issue. It’s just intellectual cowardice. Until he stands up on the issue, we’re likely lost. But he won’t.
Had my first PowerPoint presentation today. First I was a bit nervous, but then I got exited about the questions the school kids asked. They knew a lot about #climatechange, #overpopulation#growth and #carbonemission. And now are aware what choices they can make in their lives
@elonmusk@Davos Again @elonmusk demonstrates his lack of a grasp on basic facts. Sir, we are still adding 80m+ people to the planet each year. The equivalent of 10 #NYC’s or an additional #Germany each year. Please stop repeating you uninformed statements. @StablePlanetAll@UNFPA@PopMatters
