The responsible majority.

You shouldn't be allowing grandchildren if you are being 'responsible'. Overpopulation is out of control and a major reason for the pollution that causes such anxieties.

Eight countries will make up over half the projected total population increase by 2050:

India, Nigeria, Pakistan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Tanzania, the Philippines and Egypt.

India is expected to overtake China as the world’s most populous country next year (2023), when China’s population is expected to start declining.

61 countries are projected to experience a population reduction by 2050.

That's why I said "your" grandchildren. Because youre the irresponsible one that doesn't care about future generations.
