Hey, maybe less humans means more climate. We haven’t tried that one yet.

Less humans mean less innovation. It means less energy and then less emissions total, but that's irrelevant long term. Without enough labor to support industry growth and technology, we'll be more on the sustaining ourselves side of labor. Which means we're far more likely to relapse into fossil fuels. Especially if the depopulation is rapid which will destabilize industries.

That's where automation comes in to do the menial repetitive jobs and the remaining humans take on more complex tasks. Everything will work itself out.
