Every passing day we have more humans on the planet than at any other period in human history.

The human population increases by roughly 2% annually, which is the largest growth rate in human history.

At 7.5 billion people, earth's resources have already taken a significant hit. Deforestation and the overfishing are two such examples.

2017 population: 7.5 Billion
2100 population (predicted): 11 Billion

Ok /politics/, what would you do to solve this population crisis or is human cockroach our true destiny?

It'll take care of itself, one way or another... trust me.

We are too deep into the "more is better" paradigm to turn back the tide. By about 2040 it will all end, anyway.

There's this little thing called a virus...

Either a massive plague or, perhaps something equivalent to what China implemented by restricting the number of children you're allowed to have.

But, I'm sure nature will find a way to weed us out, one way or the other.

What would I do? If I was just puny ineffectual me as I am? Or Me as a great magician or demi-god?

As me as I am, I can only speak out here and there and caution greedy, religious, selfish bastards about what their arrogance is doing to the Earth and sit back, sulk and mumble about their blind ignorance.
I have done that rather successfully, I may say.

But as an omnipotent being, I would
Impose death sentences on those over-breeding, polluting, mistreating animals, plants, bodies of water, trees and insects. Human entities would have to show respect for all life and earth systems...And each other or suffer the consequences. Balance in all of nature.

All of the above would fail. I would have to leave the results of my efforts to the insects to clean up, just as would/will happen anyway. My arrogance would be no better than that I sought to control.

Stop feeding and giving medicine to and otherwise enabling Africans, for starters.
Let them die young, sick and hungry as nature intended.

Only if you call "nature" to hundreds of years of cruel colonialism and exploitation.

A world-wide one-child policy will do the trick.

The world population will peak at 8-9 billion and will then drop off.

World population will take care of itself.

30 years ago, population expansion was supposed to be at a much higher number than it is today. It actually slowed according to estimates.

The world population will peak at 8-9 billion and will then drop off.

Only says a few people with some really, really speculative figures. Reality has yet to bear this out, however.

Realistically, population will continue to skyrocket until the population becomes unsustainable at the current levels of consumption, and catastrophe will ensue, of one form or another.

Worldwide cooperation unheard of in these times of morons who can't look past imaginary borders will save the human species within 150 years. Before that though massive amounts of will die though. Far more than WW2. Mars and the asteroid belt will be utilized. More trillionaires will exist than billionaires with solar system resources being up for grabs so to speak.

Skynet alrady has this covered.

An actual solution, quit enabling and providing for people who cannot actually afford to nurter and care for a child.

Redistribute wealth to help the poorest black people. White people have fewer children and poorer black people have more children, so this would help to slow the rise. Better education would also help.

Well you never know, giving Donald Trump access to the nuclear codes might have been a good first step.

In all likelihood, we're just going to have to suffer the consequences of strained resources at some point, and that will curb population growth at some stage.

I guess religions need to change their stance on contraception and science.

We could try the Jaguar Solution - all liberals kill themselves.

Then you'd be left with a fascist system with everyone preferring the likes of Trump, and millions more would die, before becoming indentured servants to the rich. Not to mention anyone with an IQ over 140 would already be gone, thus severely depleting the innovative capability of the human race.

We'd still have SHINI LASER, IQ 163.

It's simple. One child per person in the civilized world. Every additional child procreated and a heavy tax is fined on the parent. You could still have more than one child without being fined as long as it was with a different man or woman who didn't already have a child.

Quit bringing refugees from 3rd world countries to the west and raising their standard of living which puts a higher burden on the environment.

Quit sending aid to 3rd world countries (because of white guilt or in an attempt to build a Christian army) This only encourages them to reproduce under false conditions.
