The problem is more than serious and is going to affect the lives of perhaps our generation ,not later than the lives of our next generation.
The greenhouse effect,the disappearance of species under our very eyes,the climate changes,all these are more or less the direct result of the already 8 billion men living on our planet.The populatoin is going to triple herself in the following 50 years.
What is the solution?
The last desired solution is a third nuclear world war.It is not desired but it could hapen .Einstein who has regretted his contribution to the creation of the first A-bomb said that he doesn't know what weapons will be used in the III WW,but he is sure that in the IV WW people will use sticks.
We as simple mortals cannot do anything but hope that it will not hapen.
Other solution proposed such as an international government or transfer of populations so as to optimize the utilization of the soil seem to me as non feasable in the near future.
It seems to me that the chinese model of population control is the most probable to be extended
to other countries.The existence of the chinese model is determinated by at least two political conditions:the existence of a totatitarian system combined with a secular/atheistic/non religious/not imposed multiplication by religion,population.
Let's not forget that China has achieved this situation by a bloody revolution in the wake of which many million of people ( they say that the figure is about 20) have lost their lives.
From the point of view of religious believes it seems to me that in spite the immense population of prerevolutionary China their multiplication was not imposed by confucianism or other local religions.
Now,the situation is toally different in the Christian word and especially in the Muslim world.
In countries which are essentially christian the birth rate is not very high due to the modern conditions of life so even if the christian priesthood speaks against population control
the practical effect of it is not very high.
In countries like Russia,France,Germany and other the christian population is even decreasing.
So the main problem remains with the Muslim world where the population control is regarded as a crime against the Islam.
The muslim population expands itself in the whole of the world and gains together with it's growth political power and finally also warfare power.
The ideal way of population control would be totalitarian or quasi totalitarian countries whith imposed secular/atheistic believing population.
To achieve this model it is, in my opinion, almost sure that the world will undergo bloody revolutions in which the muslims will play a very nasty role.If exrtermist muslims will be in posession of nuclear weapons they will use it.
Pesimistic prognosis ? yes.
Prepare yourself to tell your future grandchidren about a golden age when life was beautifull with plenty of food and people who where free.
