The problem is there's way to many people on this planet. You can't tell me that nearly every problem facing mankind could not be solved or at least alleviated to some extent by population reduction, pollution is no exception. As a people we know this to be true but most everyone wants to have kids, they see it as their "right." There's no doubt that producing more people who have bigger carbon footprints is the worst offense against the planet that anyone can commit. The cumulative amount of pollution made by one's blood line for generations to come is astronomical. Especially those living in first world countries.
well thats my 2 cents.
I don't expect anyone to argue with my post because their is no argument against it. I don't expect anyone to reply at all, because no one wants to admit that it's absolutely true.
i personally find it an easy scapegoat instead of drastically changing the way we live.
Anyway assuming you are correct,it should be Europe and America that gets depopulated first.We are the largest throw away society and have been for decades,seems only fair

Something that big? yet all we have a pretty dots on a colour map?
Im not doubting we have polluted, but this article makes it sound as if you couldnt surface for air because the top layer is literally an island mass of garbage.

Creating more people isn't the problem and so destroying more isn't the answer. If you simply look up, I'm sure you can find a rock we don't use and transfer the trash to mines on it.
The problem is the waste produced by the increase of all life, not just humans, don't forget all the species we save and allow to populate each day.
Killing people isn't the answer, it's a narrow minded solution created by someone who has no love for their own life, much less anyone else's. Though objectivist's feel they are making the rational choices no one else will, they are generally, as limited in their thinking as anyone else. Of all the inexpensive and easy to accomplish solutions genocide is their fall back because they know best.
Yet, none of you are willing to go first, which belies your true intent, which is to have more for you at the expense of strangers- since, you won't kill off those you love and care for either, unless you don't really love and care for them which just proves you have no love for yourself. If you won't volunteer yourself and those around you first, what gives you the right to volunteer anyone else??
Ironically, you're the same selfish bastards who opt to dump trash and radioactive materials into the sea. Just so it doesn't affect your precious section of the World. I know your type well, you're all the same. For all you know, you know nothing.
