Nobody solves the problem from its roots. Population control would solve most of the problems, unless and until that happens, human population will be seen as a cattle field for the minds at the top.
- beat 7y agoPopulation control has been happening for decades now. We are rapidly approaching a flat, replacement-level birth rate. Population isn't growing because of births. It's growing because of much longer lifespans, that go hand-in-hand with the economic and health care improvements that are raising life expectancy from the 50s to the 70s in most countries. Another generation or two, and that effect disappears into the overall population.
- MichaelApproved 7y agoThat's like saying "lungs are the root of a smog problem." A growing population isn't a problem. How that population behaves is the concern. There are plenty of resources on this planet to sustain more people. How the population uses and shares those resources is what needs to be addressed.
- manicdee 7y agoI don’t see how “population is the root of the food availability problem” compares to “lungs are the root of the smog problem”. Can you elucidate?
