So, we like this Pope. He seems to be the most open-minded, inclusive Pope in recent memory. But he is still the head of the Catholic Church and his comment about Italy's birth-rate is just sad. As we humans scramble to find solutions to pacify the planet we have used and abused and is now beginning to pay us back, this man advocates making more humans. The humanity's problems aren't going to be solved with switching from one form of energy to another, case in point, the ravages that mining for lithium and cobalt will result in as the greedy and the corrupt begin to exploit the demand. The solution is population control. Education and birth control in those countries who still believe people must have ten children, sorry sons, to work the fields, or that the majority of their children will die in infancy. Less humans, less consumption. It isn't the Earth we should worry about; it will go on after us; it is our own quality of life we should consider. And with more people born it won't be pretty. No two people should have more than two children. One child to replace each parent.
