Um, a guy I know is writing a book with population reduction as a major plot point. Unfortunately
there is little voluntary about it... .aside from the occasional adult that says "I wouldn't want to
bring a child into this world."
Only politicians brave enough to lose the next election will support those kinds of measures, hence the
difficulty.

In November 2013, following the Third Plenum of the 18th Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party, China announced the decision to relax the one-child policy. Under the new policy, families could have two children if one parent, rather than both parents, was an only child.

"Hey wharphie, what would YOU think about birth control
as a solution to AGW?"

You go to the climate wars with the population you have, not the population you wish you had.

"4 billion, through
a "planned reduction" of new births wouldn't that be the ultimate
solution? "
Way too late. Now we need to get 7-8B living a zero-emission life in the next 30 years.

"There HAS to be some movement to reduce
population, que no? Got any links to any population reduction movements?"
