What happens...

[Tervuren]

If you start teaching that humans are overpopulating, that they are poison to the planet causing massive ecological harm and climate change ; and get taken literally?

What would this cause people who take it literally to do? How do they decrease the population of the planet? How do they eliminate humans so that we can't keep messing up the planet?

It's a Catch - 22. On one hand the human population is expanding to the point it will be counter productive. On the other, countries need expanding populations to drive their economies' expansions (China's one child policy is an example). The more developed countries may be able to implement population control policies. It will be impossible for third world countries to do it though.

From my outlook; more people means more minds to potentially advance our technology in the support of more people.

I design the shapes of bits of material that reduce the energy consumption to still meet target requirements in lighting. As a person on this planet, I allow more people to exist by reducing the energy consumption per person.

How many others allow more people to exist by either expanding the resources available, or reducing the resource need person?

I prefer a positive outlook on this subject as how I would like to live. It also causes me to value life and living. If I didn't, then what is the alternative?

We provide cash incentives for them to do it.

Whatever happens will happen. My thinking is that just like with other animals, there always seems to be a cure for overpopulation.
