Essay by Eric Worrall

“This isn’t a population crisis. It’s a distribution crisis.”

It’s one of the most persistent climate myths out there: the planet is frying because there are simply too many people.

But journalist Louisa Schneider has taken to TikTok to call it out for what it really is – a “dangerous” lie.

“They want us to believe that the climate crisis is caused by ‘overpopulation.’ 

“But we have enough resources for everyone!” the text of her video read. 

“This isn’t a population crisis. It’s a distribution crisis.”

“And the myth of overpopulation? It’s not just wrong – it’s dangerous.”

…

Schneider pointed to a 2023 Oxfam report which found the richest 1 per cent of the world’s population were responsible for as much carbon pollution in 2019 as two-thirds of everyone else combined.

That same year, their emissions alone were estimated to have caused more than 1.3 million heat-related deaths, Oxfam putting it bluntly: the super-rich “burned through their share of the global carbon budget” within the first 10 days of the year.

…

Schneider’s takeaway? The Earth doesn’t have a people problem – it has a power problem.

See? To solve the climate crisis we should reject the overpopulation fascists and embrace the redistribution communists instead.

I wish schools still made an effort to teach history. Then otherwise intelligent people might stop dredging these dreadful failed ideas from the trashcan of history, and presenting them as new and innovative solutions to imaginary problems.
