Is there any way we can crank that population back to one billion by say 2050 without too much trouble? If we can come up with a bomb that has no residual radiation but lots of bang, I am sure we can supply the reasons to use it. We don't seem to be able to get the other guy to keep it in his pants with any efficacy. With the present population curve operative it appears that we will be out of food and energy in less than 75 years. War will have to ensue. Extra planetary plans or high tech survival weapons will be de rigeur for continuity of civilzation. I vote that we kill other people and not ourselves as an effective Malthusian check. I have worked through the hypothesis of people starving in a cabin and only enough food for half the people until spring. 1/2 have to die for the others to survive. Try as I might, if I were in that cabin, I would not select suicide as the honourable option. The survival gene belongs to the nasty. Maybe that is why Yogi Berra said nice guys finish last. Maybe they don't finish at all.

Just a nasty survivor.
