    Objectively if we were to scale back enough, many people currently struggling would die. Excess is the only reason they’re still living. Think the rainforest and rain passing the canopy trees enough to still allow life below. Remove the mass amount of rain, that ecosystem suffers.

      This is just trickle down economics. It doesn’t work.

        Handing out new rain to the trees in the canopy may or may not increase rain at the lower levels, but reducing rain at the canopy for sure reduces rain at lower levels.

          Over explaining your analogy does not make it more correct.

      enough

      I mean, yes, if we scaled back enough, people would die. But if we scaled up enough, people would also die. If you drink enough water it will kill you.

      many people currently struggling would die

      Many people currently struggling are dying because of how much consumption is taking place.
