a couple millions gallons of crude oil should help.....

[JewelLotus01]

When all the trees have been cut down,

when all the animals have been hunted,

when all the waters are polluted,

when all the air is unsafe to breathe,

only then will you discover you cannot eat money.

Honestly, while overpopulation is becoming a greater problem, we should still be able to survive with our rain forests, oceans, and other wild life areas in tact regardless of population. The problem isn't that there are so many people in the world that we have to feed. The problem is humans like to over indulge. You don't have to eat the best cut of steak or rarest blue fin tuna to survive. We really need to prioritize and cut our losses and become more environmentally efficient as a species.

What do you propose? Controlled birth/death rates for the human species? Let's use our science/technology for the betterment of mankind, not controlling our numbers, not for WAR and killing each other. We have the Universe to explose and expland our human race; not fit for human habitation? That's why we have brains, skills and abilities.
