Burgers don't drive cars.

People drive cars, and people eat burgers. Is that the context you were looking for?

We've identified two ways to reduce carbon production. 1) reduce production per human. 2) reduce humans.

Only the first one is being argued for here. Conflating it with the second is just a confusion.

Sorry but this is just such an ignorant comment. You really need to read up on how agriculture contributes to global warming and loss of land/deforestation. What do you think cows eat, air?

It would be bad enough with all the burping and farting but at least we would not destroy the rain forest so we could produce more soy for fodder

Nihilistic bullshit isn't the hot take you think it is. The problem isn't too many people. The planet couldn't handle billions more if we used resources correctly. Is your idea of "humans enjoying nature" extreme deforestation and water scarcety?
