The only way to manage population is to control breeding. That is not a scaleable solution.
- Angostura 9y ago> Education is not the savior. Unless you can educate the world that the Earth has limited carrying capacity and that GDP and population growth aren't necessarily the be-all and end-all.
- swsieber 9y agoWell... not directly. But in societies with more education, the birth rate is lower. Some countries have already dipped below a self-sustaining birth rate.
- stale2002 9y agoYeah there is indeed a physical limit to human population. And that physical limit is much closer to 100 billion people, than it is to 1 billion. Population growth is already on the downward trend, and we are expected to reach population growth neutrality by 2040.
