> As for Malthusianism - it seems to me the GP is correct in pointing out ecological stress is proportional to human population size, and that the ecosystem is in crisis.

Population size? No, the problem is human greed and corruption.




I'm not saying those aren't a problem. I'm saying that ecological stress is proportional to human population size. Are you claiming we'd have the same ecological problems, of the same severity, if the human population were 1/10th its size?

The claim is so simple and obvious I'm sure you misunderstood it deliberately.
