On average, 1 US citizen consumes food and energy and produces waste as much as about 100 Pakistani citizens. This means that the burden of the US on planet Earth is about the same as 35 billion Pakistanis. Similar numbers hold for ‘Western’ countries. Conversely, if you wipe out the whole population of Pakistan, its effect is less than reducing the population of the US by one percent.

Therefore, the problem is not too many people but too many ‘Westerners’. The solution is then simple, wipe out all ‘Western’ nations and leave the rest of humanity and the Earth is saved.

Tongue-in-cheek but it exposes the racism and concealed bigotry in your article. The problem is overconsumption and it lies squarely on the shoulders of Capitalism and its champions.
