Re:Amazon Deforestation, Once Tamed, Comes Roaring Back on Saturday February 25, 2017 @07:01AM (#13731215)
Bolivia has more forest than Western Europe, Southern Europe and Central Europe together. I had a look at Google Maps; Brasilia is frightening. The rainforest gets divided into smaller parts. The South American rainforest is still larger than the African rainforest, but looks like an organism becoming devoured by bacteria.

The problem is that there are too many people on Earth. Our impact on Earth is much too high. We would already need 2 Earths. Overpopulation causes a lot of problems, not just deforestation, mass extinction of animals and climate change, but also lack of food, human mass migrations, elevating crime rates, and so on. However if we could reduce the world population to 3 or 4 billion people, than all mentioned problems should be solved and Earth should be able to re-establish a natural balance.

I am ready to help.

Most people on Earth will certainly be forced to change their eating habits because of increasing prices. The more people we are, the more food must be produced. But space on Earth is limited. All prices are defined by supply and demand. If supply is low, but demand is high, prices will increase.

Everyone should have seen the film "Soylent green". It shows us our future. And i don't like this future.

I think we should try to reduce the world population to 3 or 4 billion people. This would solve a lot of problems. We also wouldn't be forced to think about food security, genetically edited or modified foods or crop losses because of climate change.
