Topic: Decrease Population - page 3. (Read 3195 times)
Why most poor countries have highest population growth instead of rich ones. Poverty has a direct relation to the population growth. In developing countries of Asia and Africa, child labor, slave trading and human trafficking is highly prevalent. African countries for example still have maximum reporting of slave trading though trading of humans is legally banned everywhere in the world. People give birth to kids and sell them to rich people who in turn employ these kids in various laborious and unethical tasks. If not sell, these parents force their kids to beg or work at a very tender so as to earn some extra money for the family. These people believe that more kids mean more hands for begging and work and thus more money. Without concrete measures for growth and poverty eradication, other methods of population control may prove to be ineffective.
Any kind of war and disastrous kind of event that actually catches the attention of all kinds of group in the world, it will be an chain of event
If a disaster happens, it is difficult to avoid, but if it is a battle, maybe this is not a lot of things you want because there will be a huge loss and there will be a lot of misery.
I don't expect that to happen.
People need to be told and made to understand the consequences of having too many children. Government and non-government institutions can carry awareness campaigns informing people how they will be unable to provide good nutrition, education or medical facilities to their children if they have too many. Population is also a reason for illiteracy and diseases and malnutrition and the negative effects of it are required to be communicated to the general public to expand their reasoning and understanding.
Look at the way China has done to limit overpopulation with their one family one child policy because it’s really working to stop the overpopulation especially when you add the financial incentives when people decide to follow it. I am sure giving out money for that is a good deal. What do you think is the best way to decrease population?
The best way to reduce population is by family planning. Each family has only two children, which is enough to raise children. Previous population explosion affected the quality of life of each family. But the population is now stable. They do not have children as before, so gradually the population will decrease a lot.We can stop overpopulation by dramatically reducing births. Increasing numbers of resource experts agree that in order to stop global overconsumption, depletion of resources and unprecedented loss of species – and significantly reduce dire human poverty.
Population control is going to be a huge problem, and is caused by people looking at the world through the lens of that of a caveman, which we kind of are, but have to rise above this mindset to peacefully coexist and thrive.
Accumulation of things we don't need and endlessly fornicating is in our blood. It's destructive, and these needs have to be channeled into an environment where they don't carry repercussions. The Virternity project seems to have a solution for this..

Bring in hundreds of tons of Heroin and Fentanyl into any one country or state. Look at what it's done to Ohio!
Population is no longer rising at an increasing rate. It hasn't been for years. All estimates suggest global population will level off around 10 billion. We already produce enough for 10 billion people.
I understand why it is in certain interests to push a myth of overpopulation but its merely an excuse to kill black and brown people or not feel bad about letting them die. There are limited resources on Earth and there is a resource crisis but to blame it on population goes against all logic when the overwhelming majority of people on the planet are barely using any resources.
The US is extremely wasteful with resource consumption and hungry for more. It would take 5 earth's to obtain enough resources for everyone to consume at our rate. The overpopulation myth is a convenient way for us to point the finger at poor people who hardly use anything just so we can feel good about continuing to grow our grossly inflated consumption rate.
If you are concerned about resources then the thread should be "decrease consumption" or else you just sound like a monster.

We don't need to decrease population. Almost of the destruction and resource use is coming from the richest 10% of humanity. We need to decrease the consumption of the wealthy which could easily be done by redistributing wealth.
I disagree, the amount of resources other than renewable ones on our planet is limited. The number of people is constantly rising at the increasing rate, which may result in resource wars.
In my opinion, resource crisis is the number one problem in the nearest future. This problem, however, should be addressed not only by decreasing population, but also by proper resource management and development of green technology.
Reduce the population? Elementary. It is necessary to improve the quality of life. When people have something to seek and how to have fun, then they stop constantly having sex from boredom, as in Africa or India.
When the environment is nische, then the natural strategy of frogs is triggered - to produce as many eggs as possible. Most will die, but some will survive.

Not much result can be achieved from these if family planning and use of contraception remains optional instead of mandatory. Strict legal steps are required for child marriage, education, abolition of child labor and beggary and family planning to reap significant benefits from it. Proper enforcement of laws related to child labor, slavery and beggary will ensure that parents don’t sell their children or send them out to work thus forcing them to raise lesser number of kids.

Terence McKenna once proposed one way to save the world from overpopulation: and it is that no woman should raise more than one children
This simple proposition would have these consequences:
-In 40 years, population of the earth would be reduced by 50%
-In 80 years, reduced to the half again, what means 75% of the population reduced in
One human lifetime.
No wars would be delivered, it would serve individual womans and the general humanity in the reduction of resources demand, there will be less ambiental pollution, less poor and hunger, more wealth without any kind of conflict.
Obviously our political capitalistic system doesn't want this, because they view the masses as consumers and they want more consumers in order to make them more rich, without paying attention to all the damage they are doing to the world
Why is no one talking about this?

Making birth so expensive that people can go bankrupt just by having two kids!!
The overpopulation trend, for the most part has already been reversed. So much so now a lot of nations are not even meeting replacement levels of reproduction.
Depending where you look at.
All 3rd world nations still have a birthrate of 6.0-10.0+
One big drawback of developing countries is that of limited and highly centric medical facilities. Because of the high rural-urban divide in developing countries, availability of good hospitals and doctors is limited to urban centers thus resulting in high infant mortality rate in rural areas. Rural people, in order to ensure that at least some of their kids survive, give birth to more and more kids thus contributing to the population growth. If provided with optimum medical facilities population rate will almost certainly decline.

I think to reduce our population we have to take care of our marriage, after that we apply the method of two children enough, in my country this method is called family planning, and then avoid free sex that can make the population more numerous.I hope this helps.
In my opinion, reducing the population does not mean eliminating it but inhibiting the population boom. By implementing population planning
Now I don't support playing god but in Dan Brown's Inferno a mad scientist releases a rapidly spreading virus that causes infertility in about 50% of all people.
It cuts the population by a drastic amount without actually causing anyone harm, though it is delayed by about 1-2 generations.

I think war is not an option. You can't just kill people to decrease population. The only smart move would be to regulate the birth rate. Don't know if it's smart or not, but China has a rule that you can't have more than 2 kids if you live there (The number was 1 but after twin birth aborts it was reviewed). In my opinion, preventing too much births is the only smart move in this situation.
Probably some secret organized wealthy people will unleash a new form of virus that will wipe half of the population. Because just think about the diseases that just pop up in some countries, it does not really evolve from simple diseases but those paid scientist are instructed to create it to kill a lot of people.
Or what about digitizing the earth and humanity? Perhaps technology can have unlimited storage to accommodate the growing population. There are actually readings to back up this possibility.
