Let's Discuss... Too many people on earth.

We frequently hear from "experts" in the media that the Earth is overpopulated, and there are individuals advocating for actions to reduce the population. Now, the question arises...

Is the Earth overpopulated?

Is it moral to take action to reduce the population?

Are we witnessing a shift towards population collapse rather than overpopulation? (In Europe, the population rate is below replacement levels.)

For research, you can examine birth rates and the average age of the population in different countries.
