If global warming is a biproduct of humans, wouldn't the logical answer be to kill 2/3rds of the humans?

Maybe we should just start nuking the most densely packed cities/countries. Sorry NYC, Tokyo, and basically all of India.
But would this not solve the problem?
You're viewing a single thread.
The one child policy as was imposed in China is the most drastic that is ethically tolerable.
And, lack of resources will soon enough convince people to make less children.
You don't have to kill yourself today because you may die in 50 years - - this is blindingly obvious.I don't think limited resources ever results in reduced births. 100 years ago, US parents were making lots of kids and not naming them for the first year because infant mortality was so high. Education is what slows the birthrate.
You are right that it happened in the past and it still happens in many countries today : without education we are going toward disaster.
But i was trying to have a somewhat optimistic view and if you consider China's one child policy it necessitated more education but this policy was sparked by a lack of resources.
We could find more examples where education combine with lack of resources would go the way i was saying.I suppose with global education on the rise, prior examples won't always be accurate. I wasn't considering China's example to be part of an increased education amount because it didn't necessarily teach the average citizen why they should limit kids, but a governing decision that results in the same outcome could still count.
