alright let’s try a different tack then. Venezuela was a petrostate financed by burning fossil fuels. If as you say the removal from Venezuelan oil from the market resulted in declining birth rates in Venezuela we have the crux of your disagreement.

If you think pumping excess carbon out of the ground is necessary for humanity to prosper and multiply then this is your view.

If women working say installing solar panels or wind mills alongside men to try to come to a sustainable balance then that is another aspect to your opinion.

Mothers have an innate insight into the resources required for raising children that far surpasses that of men. This point your trad view should acknowledge.

Feminism and climate change research are two fields that give voice to that insight and find ways to extrapolate resources available to the global atmosphere. Having that knowledge may decrease birth rates in the near term yet perhaps there is a means to manage a transition to a more sustainable future?

Pump more oil, make more babies does not seem to have much innovative thought towards the future.
