Is the only solution to save planet from global warming to cut human population on the earth dramatically?

Answer 1

only if you concentrate on reducing the number of the hot air producing "experts" on "global warming"
;-))
seriously, look up some history.
We've had it much warmer- in the 11th century wheat farming was done in Greenland (impossible today- too cold)
We've had it much colder- in the 16th century the Baltic sea froze over completely in winter time.

BTW "global warming" effects have been observed on planet Mars- how many SUV's do you think drive over there?

Answer 2

No. The solution to global warming lies in researching better fuel options, and perhaps in engineering the reflectivity/absorption of heat from the sun. For instance increasing reflectivity by erecting mirrors, or altering surfaces etc. Or decreasing the amount of light striking the surface of the earth by orbital screening (say thin polarized plastic sheets deployed from dozens of small satellite style rocket launches year after year or MIRV like multiple such launches by larger rockets etc). Combinations of all of these things together and whatever else science comes up with can reduce or perhaps even fix the problem.

And in any case, we will adapt. Remember humans once walked the earth in many places that are now ocean floors. So while we should try to solve the problem, we should not despair.

Answer 3

This question totally took me back to my Junior year in high school when we read all those dystopian novels. Brave New World, Animal Farm, 1984... maybe even more futuristic stuff like the Matrix. When we've robbed the earth of her natural resources we could use humans for energy that's how we can cut global warming. I bet there wouldn't be emissions. And there wouldn't be as many consuming Earth's other resources either. :P

Answer 4

Not entirely. I personally think if we could develope more enviro friendly ways of energy consumption that would go a long way. Population does have a direct effect on everything and with the average life expectancy age going up we must learn how to live in harmony with the earth. There are viable options out there, but when you have the major oil companies controlling the puppet strings it's ignorant to think the government to depend on the government alone to fix it.

Answer 5

no it truly is ordinary to say precisely what's going to ensue, yet there are some issues that are for constructive. truly a type of issues is that for constructive is this planet won't be able to keep up the type of human beings at present living the following. there'll likely be a great number of hunger besides as a great number of suicide. also, i do not understand if it is going to shop the planet from international warming. that type of relies upon on how some distance we push the planet. inspite of if we stopped putting greenhouse gases into the ambience right this moment and stopped scaling down timber, the planet ought to nevertheless proceed to warmth an major volume for it sluggish. even if disaster may be prevented even as oil runs out is unclear.

Answer 6

This will happen no matter what . Nothing you can do prevents nature from following its course . when things change and famine is wide spread people will die by the hundreds of millions . This will happen if you belief or not in Global warming and an I told you so will seem less important then surviving . If you have the money and ability you can begin now to prepare for this event . Seeds water and food reserves are essential to survive .You will also need weapons for the fact of the matter is that those who do not prepare will take what you have if you do not defend it by killing them .

Answer 7

That is the same tactic Stalin used to save the economy of the USSR. 36,000,000 people were culled from the population and the economy was still horrible for the following 60 years until communism and the USSR collapsed.

Maybe we should determine exactly what man made factors are augmenting the natural global warming and address those factors in an effective mannner.

Answer 8

No it's not.

It's about using our resources wisely.

The problem with cutting the human population is that who gets to decide who can reproduce and who can't reproduce. It's fine as long as the people you care about are the ones being allowed to reproduce, but that means someone becomes a judge and jury and the criteria for selection could be based on corrupt ideology.

Answer 9

Global warming has happened before. It will happen again. We don't need to save the planet from global warming. We need to save it from nuclear war, toxic discharges to water and air. Invasion from alien races, impact from comets and asteroids . . .

Answer 10

The only solution is to let that population that cares about the destruction of the planet rule the planet.
