This only shows that you missed that I do worry about it, and we can and do chew gum and walk at the same time as Hans Rosling would had told you.

It is that while that is being dealt with, the clear focus that is needed is on decoupling CO2 emissions from our civilization.

OK, well I think we both end up with mostly the same point of view, with minor differences on how much emphasis to place on overpopulation rather than a disagreement over whether to do it at all.
