| numonex said: World population in 1960 was around 2 billion. World populations have grown by around 1 billion more every 10 years since 1960. 2010 the world population stands at 7 billion. 5 billion increase over the last 50 years. World population will be around 11 to 12 billion in 2050. Developing nations populations are increasing exponentially due to the lack of birth control, lack of government regulations, lack of education because religion is still pushed. Bigger world human population corresponds to more environmental destruction. Rain forests are being cut down and facing extinction. Many plants and animals are becoming extinct due to human. Now maybe it is time that policy like China's radical One Child Policy is adopted and implemented by governments around the world. No discrimination based on differences that separate humans because they feel superior to someone else. One Child Policy should be implemented as a universal law.

I don't agree with this. It's obvious that overpopulation is a problem that needs to be solved, but not with radical policies like this. It should be done in a persuasive/educational way, along with more investment in research and development of new sustainable technologies.
Personally, I think educational reforms around the globe (where they are needed) are the way to go.
If it was as simple as you put it, then it would be no problem.
