inevitable issue population controll

Inevitably the earth will be at its limit what are we gonna do. Its a fucked up thought but we need another big war or someething to reduce the size of the global population maybe a law that you can only have two kids like in china but americans would most likely find it unconstitutional so thatll never happen . Earth will reach its limit sometime soon unless something happens

Nah, just build underwater cities or something lol.

I think your ideas very bad but there will be no good solution

Watch the series. Why worry it won't happen in your lifetime or your kids if does happen.

Man, fly over the mid US and tell me we're anywhere near running low of land for humans to live on.

There's so much freakin landmass it's ridiculous to say we need major wars to fend off overpopulation anytime soon.

You sound like those greedy ass Rockefeller and Rothschild's..


Someone correct me if I'm wrong but you could fit every single human on planet Earth being into the state of Texas and each person could own 32'x32' of land. And that's just Texas..

The ONLY solution is space travel.

All firms of controlled are unacceptable we need to spread

This is the only answer.

Well i believe the future will lie in space colonies; like Oneil Cylinders(google O'neil islands) similar in appearance to those found in gundam UC. Dismiss it as scifi if you want but its the most convienent and technologically plausible currently imaginable with todays scientific knowhow.

A single 20km long colony with a diameter of 6km could house 10 million peple and have a population density up to 30 times less than New York.

Stoned and late, and typed from a phone in bed. Figured i would put my two cents in lol

I did the math quickly, accounting for 6 billion people (a billion less than the current population). Texas would need to be 836,127,360,000 sq miles to accommodate each person having a modest 1500sq ft abode. Which makes it difficult considering Texas is only 268,581 sq miles.

its not just the land humans use but the plantets resources. Im shure you could cram everyone on earth into texas but there would not be enough food to go around and imagine how unsanitary it would be

according to (i think) the WHO, the earth's population will reach a plateau at about the 10 billion mark, at that point the population will stop growing and there will probably be lots of disease and famine and such. i dont know exactly what will happen but if were around to see it, it might be crazy.

We won't be alive to see the overpopulation crisis. WE already have very disgusting acts of population control, i.e. cigs, alcohol, crazy people. America already pretty much tells other countries to kill themselves off and whoever wins gets some shitty prize, probably more guns.

How are ciggarettes, alcohol, and crazy people acts of population control?

I'm all for population control, in the right form.

i'm not so sure, in the short time ive been alive ive seen it grow from less 6 billion to over 7 billion, and its only going to continue getting faster until 10 billion. it might happen in a couple decades or so.

Population control is something that nature will work out. The only thing that we as individuals can do is use proper birth control when having sex to avoid "accidents." Other than that we COULD test fetuses for genetic diseases before they are born and abort those that will inevitibly have them, but the Christian community would raise hell. I don't really think it's something that govt. action can have control over though. Our overpopulation is a direct result of us trying to halt natural selection in the case of humans (a.k.a. modern medicine and law). Either way though, eventually times will get MUCH harder than now when there are even less resources to go around and a good chunk of the human population will die as a result. Then it will all level out for a while.

This was probably a joke, but we would eventually run out of resouces with that many people populating this earth.

Hydroponics man
As long as there are plants, there will be seeds, and as long as there are seeds there will be plants.

Hook up giant turbines under the ocean and let the currents spin them, voila you've got free energy. You're surrounded by water and I'm sure by that day and age we can filter sea water to be drinkable.

I see no problem with this

Man, fly over the mid US and tell me we're anywhere near running low of land for humans to live on.

It's more of an economic problem than an actually overpopulation problem at this point.

When they have to create problems just so people have jobs thats when you know something isn't working?

It's great that we have all these philanthropists at the top with their oh so generous donations:rolleyes:

Also with the underwater idea I thought light was amplified by water, solar energy would still be viable.

Overpopulation is still the least of my concerns, this planner mighty not even make it to see the day of it's capacity. Sad but true, I have shit to worry about righty now like I was just exposed to tb, and i'm behind on my vaccinations, uh--oh.

the problem isn't space, it's resources. there is already a lot of starvation and thirst on the planet and at some point, there will literally not be enough resources for the population to continue growing. it will be interesting to see if that's around the same time we start seriously trying to colonize the moon or mars.
