Curbing population growth not urgent enough

Curbing population growth will not help the urgent measures we need in order to curb global heating in this decade. Reducing the birth rate won't make a big difference in just a few years.

However, if we do enough in this decade to win a chance for civilization's future, the task of preventing global disaster will not be finished. That will take decades. During that time, reducing the birth rate will make a difference — especially when it comes to returning large amounts of land to the wild and reducing total consumption of natural resources.
