I tend to agree with his intent, but not the methods. It's a purely scientific view though, it would never become reality. The author of the article is fear-mongering by presenting a purely scientific outlook to an emotional population.

IMO the only way to preserve the future of our species is through a mass population reduction. My preferred method would be to ensure that for one generation every 2 people are permitted only one child. 50% population drop in 1 generation and a 50% easing on our demand for the earth's resources. I think we are WAY past the sweet spot population wise, too many mouths to feed, not enough jobs to employ everyone, a global economy that can't afford to pay out what it requires to take in, too much 'natural space' taken up for housing... it's all on the brink of collapse to me.

Of course you can't implement any of this in a politically correct society but I don't believe even tech is going to be able to make a bright future out of our exponential population growth. Quite frankly I'm pleased I won't be around to see what I think is coming.

Just my 2c
