The current population of the Earth is unsustainable. 6 billion people are alive today only because we are literally feeding on oil and coal and
other non-renewable resources. Our food is grown with machines that run on petroleum, built in factories run on petroleum; the fertilizers and
pesticides are made from petroleum, the food is transported by petroleum. Even "renewable resources" like solar panels, nuclearreactors, wind power
plants are built using machines and factories and humans powered by petroleum. Petroleum is running out and getting more expensive in the meantime.
You can't escape the laws of thermodynamics. When energy is no longer avilable, no more food...end of overpopulation.
Unfortunately, the ravening hoardes will eat all the domestic animals and probably kill off all the wild animals in the process before they finally
starve to death. The world we leave will be populated by rats and roaches; even they will be in short supply as they feed off of our wastes.
However, in a billion years or so, the earth will have revived herself...
The responsible thing to do would be to hold a lottery and the 1 in ten that win get to kill off all the rest; then mandatory 1 child per woman
forever. Penalty of having a second kid should be immediate execution of the mother and father. Of course, man is not logical, nor is he responsible
and he will kill off the rest of the earth to save his pitiful life one more day, even if he knows that he is dooming the future generations.
Here is a frightening report; just released today.
