<p>I agree that improving our energy generation is important.<p>But we must also get over the idea that we need mass immigration into the West.<p>The most environmentally friendly thing to do is accept a slow decline in absolute population numbers.<p>This will mean roads are not as busy, hospitals not full to bursting and the chance to improve the kids to teacher ratio.</p>

<p>So you want those in America + Europe (less than one billion) to significantly reduce their consumption, while allowing >7 billion to massively increase their consumption?<p>Think about the amount of concrete alone that would need to be used to get Africa up to 1st world standards. China used more in a few years than America did in a century. This will have to happen many times over just for the current population level, never mind a growing one!<p>It is like living in a house and everyone agreeing to cut their energy use by 20%.... while bringing in a new resident every few months.</p>

<p>In England there are a large amount of people that live a better lifestyle than the mega rich lived say 100 years ago.<p>They can raise a family, get given a house, free health care, free education including university, TV, internet, computer games and even holidays.<p>They dont have to worry about dying from polio, TB, malaria etc. Very little hunger etc<p>On paper they live a lifestyle better than kings of the past did.<p>Yet depression and unhappiness is common. Drug use rampant. Suicides high.</p>

<p>Lets try this in a different context - is this truthful change still acceptable?<p>Seems to me you're all irked by facts? Sure, plenty of Jewish people aren't prospering. Irrelevant. A disproportionate amount of them are succeeding in the "algorithmic economy." I don't see why this is so taboo to point out.<p>If race or gender doesn't matter, why do 25% of Harvard places go to Jews? [1] I personally doubt 25% of people in the "algorithmic economy" are Jewish. But I'd love to be corrected about this.<p>[1] <a href="http://www.hillel.org/about/news-views/news-views---blog/news-and-views/2013/08/21/2013-top-schools-jews-choose" rel="nofollow">http://www.hillel.org/about/news-views/news-views---blog/new...</a></p>
