How would you decide which 100 million to keep?
Well actually... come to think of it. That's about the actual population of the US. Though you would rather live in france.

Either by some kind of centralized planning or completely at random to be fair.
And keeping all members of one country would be unfair, although that would at least offer the benefit of everyone speaking the same language. Although I would consider it to be a huge loss if every other language and culture was eradicated. The world would be a boring ass place if there were only one predominant culture.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S.

This past summer was the mildest we've had here in the States for years. Here in Cincinnati, it's the mildest we've had since the '90s.
If global-warming as defined by popular science were indeed true, that wouldn't happen. By definition, global-warming means that extreme temperatures (hot summers and cold winters) become more and more extreme.
Instead, this year has seen the least extreme temperatures we've seen in ages. It was a warm winter, and it was a cool summer. That defies global warming and instead supports the opposite.

Yeah... though one culture breeds unity. With too many cultures you wind up getting "clans and alliances"... and that may screw up the new very very much smaller and more fragile population... then again that makes the US a kinda crappy choice anyway since it itself is
Centralized planning and picking is a rather hard task, since there is no real good way to do it... IQ wouldn't work... and other then that i wouldn't even know where to begin... one thing for sure though... you and I would both have about zero chance of hitting that list.
So i suggest we be part of said planning committee.

Regardless of whether or not man-made global warming is real, basing any kind of inference off of one summer's worth of data rather than an aggregate trend is simply flawed reasoning, whatever conclusion you reach.

We select men based on skills and intelligence, and we select women based on how good they'll be at making babies.
I'll be underground with a dozen wives repopulating my caves with an army of Rubang Juniors, and training them in the dark arts.
Wait, no one went into my: more veggies means more greenhouses to grow them in means more greenhouse effect?
Also, a warmer climate means less stoked natural resrouces to keep our houses warm.

Problem is, though, if "global warming" were true, a cooler summer would be impossible. Period. That single summer exists entirely as evidence, because it defies everything that global-warming activists insisted about global warming before it ever happened.
Not to mention the winter before also.
Funny that the activists make other claims now. They know it contradicts what they'd been saying, so they try explaining it away another way.
Additionally, the world goes through phases. Historically, we've seen trends as far back as records go where the world would go through natural warming and cooling phases. These phases last something like one and a half to two decades, I believe. This effectively explains everything we've been seeing for the past umpteen years regarding "global warming". Don't believe me? In five to ten years, check the daily temperatures. Should be below average.
