if you really think about it, YOU are the carbon they want to reduce LOL!
I am not into conspiracy theories, but it is likely some governments around the world realized Earth won't be longer sustainable if World population continues to grow, so they are trying to pull off a population control system without actually talking directly about it, because such thing would be unconstitutional in many of the western democracies, specially in the United States.
The strategy could be for people to let their fear for the future to do all the dirty job and convince them that bringing more people into this planet is not worth it or fair for them, because of how difficult life has become.
Even if we see it as a scientific matter and not as a conspiracy, it is obvious we are supposed to reach a point where population stabilizes and not longer growth through time.
People in Governments, and the wealthy elite, are absolutely having difficulty. They have two major options:
1. Develop the world so that it can hold tens of billions more;
2. Control the world by reducing its population, because there are way too many people to control effectively already.
If governments and the elite worked with and for the people rather than against them, there is almost no upper limit for the number of people the world could sustain. And if the world had more people, and the government and elite working for and with them, the additional geniuses that would be born would figure out how to open up and 'terraform' other planets so we could pick up out rightful heritage and populate the universe.
I mean, God knew just how large the earth was when He created it. He knew that in that original perfection, people would be populating it faster than rabbits or mink. So what if people messed His original plan up through sin? Stop messing the plan up, and develop the population so we can do what God had in mind originally... populate the universe.
