Because the issue of population change is so widely misunderstood, here's a short thread which seeks to lay it out simply.
It explains why there is almost nothing anyone can do to change the global population trajectory, both as numbers rise, then as they fall.

Good news:
Sodium-Ion batteries are now legitimate competition to Lithium-Ion ones. Environmental impact of creation is much better, as is potential cost of production at scale (look, it's based on salt).
Solar is fully ready, but storage has been an issue, and that might be getting solved.

A little signal that Trump's powers to control his party through bullying are waning.
BREAKING:
The Indiana Senate just REJECTED the gerrymandered congressional map that Trump and his allies pressured Republicans to support.
The GOP-controlled chamber voted down the map, 31-19.
