No one needs to be killed

We need the birth rate to fall. Africa's population is expected to double by 2050, its already bad enough there that plenty are contemplating or trying to come to Europe.

We have to face facts that this is not sustainable, or mother nature will control our numbers for us with force. If there was half of us there would be half the damage done and double the amount of resources available. And a lot less trouble.
But that's not sustainable. If birth rates are reduced, who is going to look after the elderly who are living longer and longer? Who is going to be paying into the pension pots to keep the aged. The problem is that things have gone too far and just reducing the birth rate is not the answer.

Is not the increasing population due to advances in medical science and people living longer. I thought that , in the western world, birth rate was falling whilst the elderly population was increasing.
I think if the corporate advances in alternative foods really kicks into high gear, then that could bring a form of population control in itself……..
