    Essentially - people who claim overpopulation is killing the planet, therefore we need to remove the undesirables to fix it. I wouldn’t argue it’s the most common position.

      Overexploitation is killing the planet. We used to have millions of buffalo across America farting up the atmosphere with zero issue for tens of thousands of years. Less than 200 years of industrial scale beef exploitation later and suddenly cow farts are destroying the atmosphere. Is is the cows fault for farting? Or is it the humans fault for breeding 500 million cows?
