I am continually amazed at how many of the “save the planet” folks do not even MENTION overpopulation, or at least population growth.

That is 156 million more people EACH YEAR.
The entire Los Angeles metropolitan area is 13 million people.

OMG. Sounds horrible. 156M is sooo much worse than ~1.5%.
