I see a few different issues here in regards to the overpopulation discussion...
First off, the problem isn't overpopulation...theres alot of people here,but the earth itself is pretty big. The biggest issue is population focus.
Large cities destroy the surrounding areas real nice..but there is no current alternative to this..once we have some effective transportation...say
hovercrafts or something like that, then people will be able to live out in the forest and still have that city job, etc.
A new energy source, self contained for a individual property to run would solve almost all of our resource issues...from growing vast gardens and
farms underground, to water filtration, etc...population control is not necessary, what is necessary is technological development to counter the
effects of population expansion
One major problem is not how many are being born, but who is breeding. Poor nations are overbreeding, intellectually challenged breed alot. Rich
powerful nations and intellects are in a population decline. I wont say the movie idocracy is likely...actually, I do say that...smart people need to
breed more, and the "knuckledraggers" in the world need to stop with the 10 kids per home. I am a BIG fan of genetic therapys for fetus's...this I
see is our only hope as a species to continue to thrive...
Smart people breed less...its just a statistical fact...if you truely want to curb the population of the world, dont think about gassing the public or
anything like that...make the people more intelligent...it will sort itself out when people have a healthy understanding of consequences and a bigger
picture...also people willingly use birth control..make a more effective method...and finally, allow for genetic experiments for enhanced IQs of
children..
So...a quick summery...move from the city, cheap and clean energy, and breed smart will solve the issues at hand..will it happen? maybe (optimist)
