[quote=davelj]My solution to the world’s pollution and energy problems (for the billionth time): Stop procreating. Stop having kids.

Population shrinks while technology improves and – voila – both pollution and energy use decline.

It’s so simple. But too few are willing to make the sacrifice. (Personally I don’t consider it a sacrifice, but most do, so…)

I’ll let folks legislate what kind of car I can drive as soon as the same folks legislate away all procreation for the next century.

Pollution and energy constraints are a result of increasing population. Legislating increased mpg is only addressing a symptom of the problem rather than the problem itself. Why don’t we address the root of the problem instead? Oh, I forgot… because THAT would be too inconvenient.[/quote]
Why not just have some loony dictator start a WWIII, launch some nukes, kill of 3/4 of the earth population. That’ll bring down the pollution level really quick. I’d say, if a few nukes go off, 5 years and the pollution level will be drastically reduced. Why wait for generations to reduce population through natural death. What if nanotechnology become a reality in 20 years and people will never die. What happen then?

Who knows, maybe in 100-200 years, we’ll find ways to recreate Mar’s atmosphere and make Mars livable. Maybe by then, everything we consume will be man made and synthetic. Like pop a pill and you’re full. No need for real food. Teleportation will make cars/plane/train obsolete. If you look at where we were as a society 200 years, and take that same advancement 200 years in the future. What we worry today probably wouldn’t make a blip on the radar people 200 years from now.
