Humanitarians may kill us all.

Pretty much I have the answer to all the world's problems, give me a massive international disaster and I can tell you how to fix it. I may not be able to physically fix it, because, you know, I do have my own job to do, computers don't ninja themselves you know.

All the worlds problems, except for one:

Overpopulation.

I've been using all the bits of my brain, in all my special thinking places and have yet to come up with anything gold.

Here are a few of the throwaways:

War On Kids.
Too late, they've already infiltrated most countries and have perfected the the duck and roll. They are also too sneaky.
Supporting evidence: Home Alone 1, Mighty Ducks 3, Malcolm in the Middle (assumed from ads)

Every country doing 1 child policy.
No good. People would be freaking out about their family name disappearing and probably never have girls. Then there would be a world shortage on girls and when people have them they could collect a massive dowry. Probably play havoc with online dating websites ratios.

Baby registration.
Might work but gets a bit scary science fictiony. Possibly be quite traumatic for all involved.

Waiting until the world floods or something.
Too messy. Probably just make things worse. Invest in paper towel companies and sand.

Encourage any country to make nukes.
Bombs also wreak the environment so that land is no use anyways. Sillies.

Crazy poor person eating virus.
Possible idea, surely someone has invented this already. Bit gross and not very nice.

Tying up John Connor for a very long time.
wait, didn't they destroy all the robot specs anyway, damn you, improper use of molten metal.


The main problem as I see it is that no one would be crazy enough to tackle this one. Kids are cute and can link the DVD to the wireless subwoofas, people love babies and also it would need all countries working together.

What is the Person Capacity of this planet anyway?

Hmm, it really is a tricky one.

I don't know whether to actual volume of people is going to be an immediate issue, rather the way we use natural resources.

It's a total shame that people in positions of power are only seeming to realised everyone has done an amazing job of wasting everything which is essential to our survival.

I know I wouldn't be rushing to bring children into the world, considering the way things will turn out if something drastic doesn't happen in the near future.

Depends on where those people want to live, I guess. In Australia they all seem to want to live near the coast, which is making house prices go crazy near the coast, while inland at Alice Springs you can get a lovely mansion for the same price as a "shack" at the seaside..

Dubai is the answer, I think. Build something gorgeous out of sand, have a lovely beach nearby and shopping and people will love to live in small apartments there. We need to make Dubai's all over the place.

Traffic is the bigger problem - can you solve the traffic? :)

in the latest star wars (i think the first of the new 3, so number 1, before the fall of the republic) the earth is just one huge city and it all seems to be coping pretty well.
