Why can’t we just have fewer people too? Instead of finding ways to support 50 billion people, how about we have good birth control facilities, education, and economies not based on constant never ending growth? The reality is unending growth WILL end whether people like it or not- wouldn’t it be better to do it on our own terms rather than in a global catastrophe?

The best way to control population growth is to actually give them a high standard of living and education. One of the most consistent trends in a developing nation is it's birth rate slowing down as people become more prosperous
