The “problem” being that the more educated people are, the fewer children they have and that’s a correlation that actually holds pretty well.
The whole “people should have more children and make sure they are educated and smart” is self-contradictory: it’s either more kids lower-education or fewer kids higher-education.
It’s magical thinking to expect that the people capable of “making sure they’re educated and smart” will have many children.
Humans and our cultural diversity are part of biodiversity which makes life beautiful, it’s about balance. A longterm goal should be to save more space for other species, but we need educated young people to keep knowledge and tackle the legacy of the mess (among much else) left by their ancestors.
Humans are what are causing the mess, and you want to add more of them?
The earth does not care much about climate change, nor about humans. Nature will bounce back eventually. It always did.
Bringing kids into this world, who are educated and adapted will help humanity, not the earth.
only if their parents care enough to make sure they are educated and smart. we don’t need more stupid people.

Good point. I guess the problem is that with humans it’s always quantity over quality.
