In a nutshell, rhetoric on 'population control' or 'over population' to save the planet focuses on the poorest countries in the world. This makes no sense as the richest countries disproportionately emit the most carbon emissions. https://ourworld.unu.edu/en/the-worlds-richest-people-also-emit-the-most-carbon

For anyone wondering what eco-fascism is- it's the belief that the organic wellbeing of land, nature or a set of people can only occur by sacrificing or curbing the interests of 'other' groups of people. Also an ideology linked with the far right, as all bad things are.
