You really want to stop global warming. Then we need a massive genocide in this world because the main problem is there are too many people in this world. This world can only hold so much of each species before it starts to show natural issues because of it. Eventually nature will limit our population for us but if ya don't want to be massacred I suggest this world needs to start controlling their growth.

Why is it necessary? First of all we are exhausing more resources for more people. Running out of food and water and ultimately emitting more and more carbon into the air because of the increased population. We need to downsize.

There are other things we can do like clean and more efficient burning alternatives but I'd say the main problem stems from just too many people. Solve that and we can clear up all problems such as world hunger, water loss, and carbon emissions not to mention while protecting more places in nature and conserving natural resources.

I don't care if anyone thinks this is morbid because its the truth. There is just too many people and the world just can't hold us all.

Random Lottery?  That wouldn't change anything.  Most likely anyway. 

You'd probably just end up with a smaller representitive sample of people that are the problem.

Either way... ever see the Movie Idiocracy?

Funny movie... though there is quite the ring of truth to it.

Modernization would help as well... once we get renewable fuels.  Modernized societys actually have declining popularity curves as there is a much less need for children and children are more likely to survive for those who want to make sure they have descendents.

(somewhat) OT: We just don't have enough data to prove that we are the main cause of global warming. No, data from the past 400 years  is not even close to enough. We can't compare that to a similar time frame after a previous ice age, because we have no data.

Also, I refuse to stop eating meat... I loves me some steak... =)

Actually as a bonus eating non meat items actually reduces (for the most part) carbon emissions. Of course that depends on the type of crop and how its harvested, but in many cases crops eat more CO2 as they're grown then they release when they are processed/harvested.

As to the meat thing, that is true but there are other solutions. For example they have found ways to develop quality meat in the lab that does not require the very expensive and inhumane process factory farms are so often involved in.


As to really reducing our global warming problem though, the best, most effective solution is to go to 3rd world countries and HEAVILY support contraceptives. The "third world" has huge population booms while most first world countries either have slow growth (the US and Europe) or even population depletion (Japan) over time. That we are as a nation fighting to NOT allow abortion and contraceptive options to the people of the world is just insane. 90% of the poverty, misery, starvation and global warming can be attributed to overpopulation of the world.

I would say that all countries in the world, yes ALL countries, should be given free unlimited access to contraceptives. It doesn't cost nearly as much as you think, for less then we're giving to Georgia (a billion dollars) we could give the entire world contraceptive inserts which would last 5 or more years (a small device inserted under the skin which releases hormones that prevent pregnancy and often even periods).

The harsh method would just be to stop any and all foreign aid from first world countries. The population booms in nations that are living mainly on handouts from rich nations would correct themselves within a year or two Malthas style.

So wait, are you arguing that global warming is a helpful conspiracy that is expanding innovation and revitalizing energy businesses?  Or are you just pointing out that you feel it IS just a conspiracy, and also just pointing out the beneficial side effects?

I believe it's a manmade global warming is beneficial conspiracy... however i'm also against lieing to the mass public just to get things done.  Call me an idealist.  I think it's a slippery slope when you start lieing to people to get things done.

Also, i think that while mostly beneficial there are some things that are beneficial to some, and harmful to others.  Like Carbon Credits which have so far been a scam and the UN plan which will basically pay corrupt governments to keep there people in the third world. (Assuming any nation actually listens to them.)

Also that we may not be researching enough to stop natural global warming.

BRING ON THE HEAT WAVE! Cause I'm not gonna stop eating meat.

I'll bet the last warm period happened because the dinosaurs ate so much meat... and also their SUV's were such gas guzzlers.

Judging by the size of his chin and face...I would say this is one method that Al Gore will not endorse.

This is my sentiment exactly, however, I cannot get myself to stop eating meat.
