WELL, MAYBE....it will balance out the overpopulation in the world.

I doubt it'll effect us much. We'd be aware of it, and fix all of our tech that's at risk.
I suppose it might mess with migratory animals. Hard to say.
Everything I've read about the idea of pole reversal says it would have little effect.

Any newborn living will adapt its body through time. Nothing to worry about. Selection natural FTW

How many people is too many, in your view?

From a long term environmentally sustainability POV (at western standards on living), we’d ideally need a pop under a billion. :/

Can you expound on your reasoning?

To live at western standards requires A LOT of resources per person per year. The earth can only support / regenerate so much per year. The more people living at a higher standard of living, the more resources needed / taken / harvested every year. At the current human population (if everyone was to live at western standards), we would need 6 to 7 earths to live indefinitely. :( Basically, we're using up more resources every year than are being regenerated. :(
