The status quo is the problem, so it would have to be some basic logic defying magic.
While I understand the intention here is to reassure people that not all is lost and there’s still time for action, a take like this is going to be paraphrased into “climate change is overblown and isn’t something to worry about” by Big Oil and other major polluters.
By the way, the UK constitution also isn’t a single document.
Something like this is most certainly a crime against humanity.
It might be a problem, but I don’t think it’s the cause of extreme weather and climate change (or scarcity, poverty, hunger etc.). The dominant economic and political system is.
Also I believe it will be eventually possible to either build comfortable cities in deserts and permafrost tundra (or even on the sea floor) or transform those to less hostile biomes (although there are ethical and aesthetical considerations) provided we don’t go extinct due to climate change before we have a chance to address overpopulation concerns.
Read Make Room! Make Room! if you want a grim and realistic picture of the future (though I don’t agree with the notion that overpopulation is the problem).
Could one argue that a monolithic kernel such as the Linux kernel also goes against that principle?
