How can we stop overpopulation?

Answer 1

Keep yourself busy. Shoot some hoops, work overtime, invent something. Whatever keeps you from having intercourse.

Answer 2

Two things will solve the overpopulation problem. 1.) Starvation, famine, and then war as we fight for scarce resources on an overly populated planet. This theory has already been proved by rats in a lab - they were peaceful until overpopulation and then turned on each other. 2.) Pandemic disease - as the population increases so does human contact allowing new strains of disease to kill countless millions (perhaps even billions) until all that remain are those unexposed or immune. Mankind by itself does not have the will to take the necessary steps to limit its population but the laws of nature will.

Answer 3

We could do what China does, but that would open a whole can of worms. They give breaks to families with one child, but then penalize families with more than one. What happens is that the parents get an ultrasound to determine what sex the fetus is. Some get an abortion if its a girl.

Or we could try to squeeze as much food and resources as we can out of Mother Earth. That just kind of blurs the question by saying "look at how many people we can sustain."

I think the easiest answer is probably what that other guy said: War.

I remember learning in a statistics class long ago that models of population growth in wild animals were usually steady. The existing population would reach a sort of equilibrium with predators/prey etc. When the population growth looked like ours (like a graph of an exponential function that starts out slow and then shoots straight up) that eventually some outside factor caused the animals population to crash and burn. Thats what may end up happening to us.

Answer 4

we could stop overpopulation be making a limit on the amount of people in each home depending on the size. some people have like 7 people living in an apartment. also anyone under 18 shouldn't have any kids

Answer 5

Nature has a way of fixing things most of the time, if we don't ease our own overpopulation problem, disease and war have a pretty good way of doing it for us. It seems like the more tightly packed we become, the less tolerant we are of each other and the easier disease spreads.

Not the nicest thing to think about, but its the truth.

Answer 6

Since man/woman have never gotton over taking that first apple, we cannot control our urges. The earth is 4 1/2 billion years old and has been through many reinventions and many self- purifications. When we damage our host to the point that it rejects us, it will start over again, probably with something in the bug population.
