    Stop sending your £5 to water aid, that'll dehydrate quite a few in Africa, no water, no tulip.

    Solved!
    I'm not sure where you are going with this one, people have attempted this in the past i.e. China and their single child policy. You can incentivise families to have either fewer or more kids.

    No need to resort to genocide or euthanasia.

      China's policy worked for them. Most 1st world countries the indigenous population is dropping (UK included). Family planning only works if you can be given a high percentage chance that all of your offspring will survive.

        Thank God I will be dead by the time the planet gets really unpleasant.
        Nah, technology/innovation will solve the problem.

        All that needs to happen is to have carbon capture on a massive scale. My idea is huge seaweed "farms" floating on the oceans - they couldd hoover up CO2 faster than we are producing it.

          The Sargasso is busy hoovering up plastic and a little busy right now.

            That doesn't and never has worked.

            We've ****ed about with the equilibrium. Time to let natural selection have free reign again!

              Population is coming under control all on its own.
              Improving child mortality, education for women and contraception are all that is needed. And it’s working. Expect 11bn people by 2050 that will be stable, or slightly falling.

              This is well documented.

                That is too many people.

                      I used to just poop on client time. Painful on bank holiday weekends. But pays dividends long term...
