don't eat meat? fuck off... I an understand an argument against the corporate farms of pigs, chicken and cows, but acting like meat is bad is just stupid. Go shoot a deer and eat for a year.

Meat is a very inefficient way of feeding people. If we intend to support anywhere close to the current population, it can't be done with a meat based diet.

That's a big if. Rather than give up meat, I'd prefer to see a population reduction event that dropped us to a billion or lower.

My point is that it shouldn't be considered that impressive. If someone actually wants to make a real, recognizable difference in the world (not just talk about it), then it starts with them. And the two easiest things to do are not to eat meat and not to drive, and those are options that nearly all of us have.
I don't want to say the change is easy, but it's really not very difficult. Anyone who wants to help the world can start with these two steps.

As great as that may be for most planetary ecosystems, I'd prefer not to see that as I highly suspect I would not be one of the billion to survive. Selfish, I know, but if we're going to have a mass population reduction, it would be much more convinient if it happened after I live quite a while longer.

Having a 1/7 chance of living vs living without meat is a no-brainer. Sign me up for those odds any day.

Well we could start with education, especially sex education, and making contraceptives more available, not just in the U.S. but everywhere.
If you can't give up meat eating less or local has quite an impact.
Or just go 12 Monkeys. Seems a bit heartless though.

I find it quite ironic that the pope is coming out against poverty and climate change yet the Vatican is still against contraception.
Contraception is probably the best prevention for both poverty and climate change.
also, if there were no poverty and everyone was wealthy, they woukd pollute a hell of a lot more, so the idea of ending poverty as well as preventing climate change are kind of at odds.

Any mass population reduction event on that scale would likely destroy most of the planet. The only way I could see it being somewhat less destructive would be some sort of virus. If the US goes to war with China we are also quite likely to see a significat biological reduction, but that would leave disasterous aftermath.
China has really made life, and labor cheap via its explosive population growth. Now they desire to join the rest of the modern world, but it just isn't possible. I think the colonization of Mars is a good option for the future.

Environmentalists talk about limiting the population, that's a form of eugenics.
Enlil is talking about killing off 6/7 of the world population.
hell maybe the holocaust was good for the environment...

Eugenics means intentional breeding of humans for an intended superior outcome. It became a racist ideology, with a heirarchy of races. We're not talking about eugenics at all. China has, or had, a child limitation. They were not practicing eugenics, but rather population control.

Well if we are going to limit the population, we would be smart to practice eugenics. If were going to kill off 6/7 of the population we should start with gypsies and whatnot.

I hope you're not being serious in that statement...
If we were to truly limit the population, it'd have to be completely random. Or some sort of mass apocalypse, with the survivors being the "best" humans.

If we continue with that thought process, it will be the wealthy killing off the poor, plain and simple. The top 10% of wealthy people kill off the rest of us.
