It's not simply pedantry! If you can't/don't even give it the correct name, what hope is that there that you, in the pretty anonymous environment of a Golf forum, actually know anything about what you are asserting!

The actual reality is that there are too many people on the planet. If the population was 50% of what it is today then we would have a fighting chance. Vaccines mean that child mortality is way down. Better healthcare means we live way too long nowadays. We’ve just gotten too good at living.
Are there too many people or is the human race a bunch of over polluters? Europe has food mountains, allegedly, and once away from the major conurbations there's oodles of room.

There may be oodles of room but thereby lies the problem. Man is moving into those oodles and chopping down the much needed habitat that helps deal with the problem and the shear scale of it is turning large parts of the planet into waste land.

I'd argue that most societies and economic systems have developed around the assumption that certain resources will be unlimited and we can afford to waste and pollute with little consequence.
However we are now at a point where this is no longer true. Developing societies like China and India are mostly following the old model of waste and pollute (having said that China are doing a lot of stuff with renewable energy) to become more affluent and modernise, but you could argue that we have already used up much of the credit we had with the planet. Plus dangerous morons like Trump who basically have been bought by the major polluters and value making money over anything else do not help.
If we all start making small changes, either through government policy or our own sense of what is right, then we may have a chance. If not then I do fear for what we will leave for generations to come. And if a few commuters and the Daily Mail to get angry about the methods used to raise this issue then I can live with that.

Oh my word, Thanos posts on this forum 🤣. Joking apart your point is valid, people living too long and wanting to live too well.

You really are a sad character if you have to waste time making posts highlighting someone saying Thermo instead of Thermal and especially when it was an of the cuff comment in a post about something else. Grow up man.

Foxy, what do you think you're achieving by pulling someone up like that? Pretty much everyone and their dog knows the correct wording, so you're not serving any purpose in that respect. You're clearly not educating SR, as all he sees in your posts is white noise, and he knows what he means anyway. And if you think it makes you look big and clever, its having the opposite effect. It makes you look small minded and petty. The picture it creates in my mind is of a small boy pulling the wings of flies. Its childish teasing. Do you really want to be seen like that or do you want people to recognise your intelligence?

Makes a mockery of the 'opinion' having any authority when he can't even spell the term he's attempting to use - specifically to actually mock the poster he's 'replying' to!

I can't see what Foxy wrote as he's on my naughty list but I've liked your comment anyway

TBH, he's on mine too but just occasionally I'll unignore him to see if his style has improved. There's one or 2 others too. I guess Old Skier was responding to one of them but if his response is anything to go by... sadly... I've missed it
