Quote:I do understand the concept of, "thinning the herd", but I don't think she would be so cavalier if it was her house and her friends of whom the world decided to "thin".
What would be the current world population had there been: No black death in the Middle ages, no wars in say the last 100 years,no Stalin, no Mao, no Pol Pot,no famines and no AIDS? Keep in mind that humans breed at an exponential rate.
Of course,humanity needs drastic thinning,by about 80%. However, that should only be in places which will not effect me personally;such as India, China, Africa, South America, the Middle East (leaving the oil intact) and perhaps parts of the Southern USA.
This would reduce the rate of climate change and make the remaining natural gas, oil and coal last a lot longer.
