But Steve, if population were to dramatically decline, how would the current high population continue at this high level of civilization? And birthrate restriction is horrible to me. We wanted children so badly, but it was not meant to be. So I see restrictions on numbers of children per family as barbaric. That leaves disease, war, or some catastrophic event as the other ways of reducing population. I'm just not crazy about any of those solutions.
Still, at this point, we have plenty of space to live in, if we can learn to live in, for example, deserts, if we can learn to live with the environment and not try to bring lush water-wasting lawns and gardens with us.
