Topic: Population - page 32. (Read 24042 times)

Best way is war... Like a world war 3. If that doesn't work, send out a virus to cull 1/3 of the world's population. If that's not your cup of tea, hunger games or the purge is nice. Now for a real solution, one child policy law seems effective. I mean give a huge tax to a person for having another child.

I personally believe this is simply a line pushed by the elites, it is not a truth, and has been preached throughout the generations.

If you want a solution offered however, it is innovation, as it always has been.

I think that sterilization is a great step toward reducing the population. Also need to sterilize animals that people do not want to care for and then they suffer.

Why would I be joking? There is easily enough space, materials, capability to produce food and water, and everything we need on earth for 100 billion people.

Perhaps people in Bangladesh are not as happy as they could be. They might be the nation with the least amount of land per person in the world. But even in their dense population, they are living and making it.

Now, it is true that I like the open highways of western America. And if Siberia and Northern Canada were habitable, there is lots of room to make highways to travel. But, the land could handle population density like Bangladesh if the people worked together to make it happen.

If the two things that I mentioned - Seasteading and aquaponics - were properly applied and used, the whole ocean is there for us to populate on the top of it. And this says nothing about if we grow downward on both sea and land.

On top of this, if the correct form of global warming were made to happen, the Sahara would become a garden, the cold lands of Siberia and Northern Canada would become warm enough to be inhabited, life on the rest of the land could become a beach, the greater warmth could grow lots more agricultural products, there would still be cold climate in the high mountains for people who liked to live in cold, Antarctica might remain cold, but warm enough to live on...

So you see? The possibilities for way more population on earth are essentially far greater than anything that we have now.

One of the greatest needs for mote population is so that we get more intelligent people who can figure out the science to make the kinds of spacecraft that it takes to go to the stars, and start populating the universe.

The ability to go to the stars in far shorter time than rockets could take us there, was developed way back in the 1950s and early 1960s. This is not a dream. This is reality. Check http://newatlas.com/orion-project-atom-bomb-spaceship/49454/. The only thing we need is a few more intelligent scientists to clean up the few loose ends in the program. We need more population to get these scientists.

Most of the time, the average citizen does not want war or fighting outside of sports competition. It's the leaders who want war. The problem of over-population is a lie. It is brainwashing by the leaders to gain control over everybody for their own ends. War is of their making, not of the general population.

Most people that has no job or decent home have more children!! and that is the big problem ..
I think we should limit the number of children in every family .. having a child with no marriage shall be punishable by law on both parties ..
so we can limit having illegitimate children and number of population in every country .. the more numbers of people will result to more pollution around the world... and we will have shortage in supplies while the demand in food will be large and will result to a bigger problem sooner or later !

Enough space probably, but not enough resources. We can populate every space there is, but the reasources this earth can give us is finite. You can't expect it to sustain every person's needs especially with how bad we're dealing with our natural resources

there is no overpopulation. Earth has enough space for all of us

i think best way is to discover new places and try to find tech solution like houses under water .,..........

I just hope that you are joking. The world definitely can't sustain a population of 7 billion+ and here you are talking about a population of 100 billion. Over-population is the cause of conflicts around the world, be it on the middle-eastern nations such as Syria or in African nations such as Congo. More population means more warfare and chaos.

But some people say that family planning is against their religious beliefs. And some of the Catholic and Islamic religious bodies are strongly against population control measures such as contraception.

We need a lot more people in the world. Why? Did you ever see a teacher in a classroom at school? She can handle a dozen kids much easier than 2 dozen, and way easier than 3 dozen.

The people who are trying to rule the world need a low population so that they can control the world easier. That's why they are promoting all this nonsense about over-population.

Get out of the city sometime, into the wide open countryside, and see how much more space is there than you would have realized.

With aquaponics and seasteading, we would easily have room for 100 billion on the planet.

I think the solution to reduce overpopulation is to regulate the distance of pregnancy and also if you have only one child or a maximum of 2 children, so we help to reduce the population

War was a form of population control in the past. But that is no longer the case. In the past families had 10-12 children each and they were happy to use the kids as cannon fodder.

I do not agree with you. War only occurs in some parts of the world and accounts for a fraction of the world's population. Population issues must be weighed and scrutinized. Sex education measures are only temporary but not comprehensive.

Contraceptives, it is the best and practical way to less population. I know someone will say because it is a sin,  against the law of God. But let me tell you this, God wants people to multiply before because there is not so many people like this today, the people before is much smaller than today. The number of people before has been increasing rapidly. We need to control it today,.

there is no overpopulation, earth has enough space for everyone
it's just that we are all jammed in one city and that's why you perceive this as "overpopulation"
demand and supply will adjust that though and smaller cities will in the future become large, and therefore facilitate more people

I think one of the solution is to educate the young ones or the teenagers about the over growing population. It may not be the best solution but it can help. Make a seminar or meeting regarding the contraceptives, family planning or any topics that is related to the pregnancy and family for the to realize what is the responsibility if you have already a family.

I think that we do not need to worry about this. In the world now there are wars and natural disasters that destroy many people. I think when the resources will end, then the planet itself will destroy the excess population.

 I agree with you. One of the biggest problem that the world is facing is overpopulation. I think One child policy is the best solution to lessen the overpopulation of the world. This child should learn when is the right time to have a baby to avoid early pregnancy that can cause overpopulation. We should always think if the action that we will do has a good result and will not lead in having a problem.
