America's secret weapon against a plummeting world population

1. I'm not that happy about Ghitis's priorities

ie economic growth and the US being the Number One economy. She seems to think that's more important than solving the global climate crisis, and other environmental problems. A smaller world population is needed for that. It may be a good idea to avoid rapid declines in country or regional population, because you do need a balance between the working and non-working (whether child or elderly) population. I think countries like Japan are going to have to allow a bit more permanent immigration.

But you don't want too much into the countries which pollute and produce greenhouse gases at the highest rate - eg the USA. Once that environmental damage per capita is solved, then high rates of immigration to them aren't so damaging.

Economic growth is only OK if it's genuinely 'clean' (ie not the BS 'clean' that Trump and his type talk about).
