But nobody wants to advocate eliminating humans
A way of implementing this, nudging it towards more politically correctness, is birth control. At one extreme is China's One Child policy, which probably led to some economic benefits (yes, and created other social problems).
Here's a thought: which reduces carbon emissions more, population control, or having a few people in a population do more environmental friendly stuff? (not suggesting one or the either, it actually needs some data.... sneaks away before getting stoned...)
- neutronicus 15y agoCheck out Singapore's policy for a middle ground. There's a cash bonus paid to women who opt for sterilization after two children, coupled with preferred admission into the best state schools for the children of sterilized women and increasing tax penalties for each child beyond the second.
- sliverstorm 15y agoHmm... Not being able to attend a good school because your youngest sibling was born is a very upsetting concept in many ways...
- neutronicus 15y agoIt pales in comparison to starving because your three youngest siblings were born, in my not-so-humble opinion. Granting or denying advantages to children is a good way to give a population control program teeth.
