@clem16 You just described eco-fascism, which is not at all used in the situation you described (reducing carbon footprint isn't about reducing energy consumption but rather stop harming our environment to do so), but it's frequently behind (sometimes not even hidden) anti-immigration rhetoric.
@clem16 I don't think we have watched the same episode. The statement you are referring to is about time travel, not ecology or any ideology.

Ok.
I enjoyed this episode. There’s a lot going on here that I think the writers have ideologically embedded into the show.
At the end of the episode the statement “There are two children that will never be born, and a future that will” sums up the whole episode - as well as putting the finger squarely on and an ideology that’s extremely invasive in the circles of our “Hollywood elite” and through it a rift in society has formed and is growing wider.
The ideology and idea is, our earths finite resources are being stretched too much to support the number of people we have. Since high population numbers require high energy usage, that energy must come from somewhere and since much of the energy being used comes from fossil fuels. Our earth is being put at risk, due to the belief in the existential threat of climate change. The idea then is, anything justifies a lowering of the earths population to reduce energy usage. (Pandemics, wars, abortions, etc).
It is an ideological view that’s causing a conflict. This show is subtly trying to slip that concept into the minds of the population so it becomes an acceptable concept.
Great show, good writing, very enjoyable. It’s just be aware that what your watching is pushing a message you’ve either already accepted and ingrained into your beliefs, or it’s trying to.
