Overpopulation is a rapidly growing threat, how would you fix it?

[Otis Da HousKat]

but white people are dominant race!

In terms of intelligence and culture yes. The other races have adapted to their situation with increased birthrates over whites and more dominant gene selection. It's the dirty and unfortunate side of evolution.

The average American ate 1996 pounds of food in one year (about 5.5 pounds a day)

1.3 billion tons of food are wasted globally every year. This is one third of annual food production worldwide. So, every year 3.9 billion tons of food are produced for human consumption. According to my calculations, we only need 19250000 tons of food to sustain the global population with everyone eating like a fatass American. I don't see how food is a problem.

your calculations are wrong as forget
There are currently around 7.02 billion people alive.

If each of them need to eat 1996 pounds of food, the entire human population will consume 7005960000 tons of food.

so if you subtract 3.9 billion tons you get 3.105 billion tons necessary to feed the world.

jesus christ man, how the forget did you pass math?

Now wait just a minute! Let me redo this!

wtf is wrong with you people?

intelligence is largely based on early education and people living in south africa in huts have no access to education. stop feeling like you're entitled to decide who dies because you happened to be born in a first world country.

kill everyone

Ok youre right

I'm assuming we're joking :p but really if we're serious, having to survive in the cold north and whatnot probably made white people smarter than before.

Ok in order to reach sustainable levels people would have to eat 3 pounds of food a day (equalling 3,843,450,000 tons of food). So we'd have to be more like Europeans than Americans I guess

I'm pretty sure I did the math right this time

[Harm94]

Places where the population is rapidly growing are in countries like India and China. Perhaps trying to convince to not have so many kids could be start. Disease and War while evil as they are are necessary in keeping balance as far as the population go.

The issue of overpopulation isn't that there isn't enough space for people to live in.

If you gave every person in the world 2500 square feet of land, they could fit in the state of Montana.

The issue here is that you can't feed all these people and create enough power for them. Not to mention the issue of job competition, disease, clean water, pollution, etc.

7 billion times 2,500 square feet = 17500000000000 square feet, aka 3314393939 square miles.

There are only 3794083 square miles in Montana.

You'd need nearly 900 Montanas to fit them all.

EDIT:

Actually, you're right.

I just finished calculating it and you could only give each person maybe 582 square feet.

Point is, land still isn't the issue.

Oops, you already did the math too.

Still, my brain just wouldn't let that gross inaccuracy slip past me. I should have checked posts before typing it.

EDIT 2:

Wait, even giving them 582 would still require 200 Montanas.

Though, the world actually can fit 200 Montanas in it. Montana can't.

Turn the world into district 13 


but seriously this will never be solved untill humans grow another arm and snails fly

No it wouldn't.

17500000000000 is 17.5 trillion you idiot.

[HellHound]

Well, you can't just kill people. That arises a moral problem among the citizens of the country doing all the slaughtering. If anything, the population will probably stabilize itself.

Your math is wrong there chief. It's 627726.125 square miles. You divided by 5280 instead of 5280².
