Climate Change- What to do?

It most certainly is not...

Population control is probably the best answer, but conservation is probably better. Though conservation is weak at best as an answer.

Have less children, that's about all you can do.

Actually there is absolutely no evidence that more people is the real problem the world faces. Remember that human beings today are still on average far better off than we were a few thousand or even hundred years ago. I have seen many people buy in this population control ideas but they never bother explaining why more people are in fact a economic benefit of some sort. It's all about efficiency and organization and the Human being is a giant source of negentropy and by that qualification alone the more human beings there are the more we can 'order; this world to our liking.

That is why population control is probably the best answer. And nothing is written in stone or as solid as oak.

Why is it the best answer when the more humans there are the more ordering energy is available? We get free energy from the sun ( we did not build it) and thus food which is just about the only requirement before a human being can start to change his environment in positive ( or negative ) ways.

I still want to see the credible evidence that more humans are a bad thing for human society or even the planet and it's environments.
