The only option is to reduce population as what Thanos and Dan Brown addressed in their works. Less human less pollutions and energy consumptions. Anything else is just distractions.

One of the more defeatist comments I've seen in a while. Yes, there's no point chasing efficiency or greener generation, let's just bump off half the population.

But if murder is the only solution, you'd have to murder 10 Nigerians to save the same power consumption as an American; you'd do a lot less murder by focussing your attention.

Nigerian per capita gdp was only $2300. The US has $69,000 per capita gdp. The world would be better off letting the Nigerians go.
