DC Dux, the problem with your position is that it is fundamentally Malthusian, once you strip away all the nice slogans. Again: I think responsibility is a good thing, but part of being responsible is not running off half-cocked until we have a good handle on what needs to be done if anything, and why.

The pollution issue is not analogous. Pollution is an externality. Living (which creates greenhouse gases - mere breathing does!) is not.
