Realise what you can change and what you can't. Whether you as an individual go vegan, walk instead of drive, or skip holidays, nothing is going to change. Enjoy life to the fullest because the only thing that can turn this ship around is drastic action by those in power and it's not really in their interest.
Also, don't buy into hysteria. You're probably not going to die because of climate change.

The population is not predicted to decline until after it peaks at 10.4b in 2087. This is the WPP "Medium" model which has slightly underpredicted population growth in the past few years.
He is not stating that it will decline, he is implying that he wishes it's decline.
Population decline is bad for everyone. We need more human beings. The bigger the pool the more likely some "einsteins" will pop up and advance the human civilization.
