really?
1: parenting licences. you all take the pill, you want kids, you have to pass a means testing, phsychological aptitude, and parenting knowledge exam. nothing too fancy, but just to ensure that real useless scumbags don't breed.

2: drop coal and oil, turn otherwise undeveloped areas like deserts and wide open spaces of sweet fuck all/starving thirsty people into biofuel plantations/ production areas. we need to accept that as a race, we have exceeded the kind of population levels where we can expect to preserve the lesser-nosed sand rat of nkwobinele from extinction AND survive ourselves, that's assuming we're WORTH saving. irrigate the desert, and grow some plants in this goddamn greenhouse we have made.

3: stop using the sea for anythign other than swimming. end of. stop fishin it, stop shitting in it, stop hoovering oil out the bottom of it. it's the only potentially unruined resource we have left, and we need to stop screwing it up. 'but where will all the poo go?' see number two (pun intended) fertiliser for biofuel plantations. hell, direct biofuel.


alternative answer: make everyone pair up in twos of their choosing, then spend s a year living like that. then pull straws and make one kill the other. the survivors will hopefully have a better grasp on the value of human life and the sudden drop in population will give earth a chance to breathe.

true
however, we don't turn co2 into oxygen, plants do, ergo they're better as biofuel as the have a negative carbon footprint so when we burn the fuel, it's releasing previously stored stuff not simply adding more co2.

Well it depends on where you need it, costs of extraction etc.
You can cover the sahara with whatever plants you want but the upkeep of a farm made of sand over 3.5 million square miles would be pretty immense.
Where a sealed bucket of shit with a gas valve is pretty easy to get going.

Possible retard question:
Why don't 'they' cover areas like the Sahara in solar panels?

It's fucking hot and sunny, no cunt lives there and it's useless for agriculture. I must be missing something obvious here.

maintenance
i did read that if 1% of the world's deserts were solar panelled we'd have more than enough energy for the whole world

Why not employ the starving Africans to do the maintenance, then?
All they seem to do is sit around swatting flies off their kids. It would give them something to do instead of waiting around for Oxfam to bring them some second-hand underpants.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Wed 28 Mar 2012, 17:00, Reply)

can you imagine the heat they would have to withstand? the kit would be failing all the time
and the temperature would be unbearable for most people, costs would be gigantic

plus i think we're underestimating the size of 1% of the world's deserts, thats probably shitloads of thousands of square miles

Fuck the Sahara
I'd be happy if we simply covered Chelmsford in solar panels and rendered it uninhabitable.

Scumbags don't necessarily produce more scumbags...
...likewise there are a lot of scumbags born from supposedly "decent" families. I know a few folk from so called "scummy" families who've turned out just fine.

Far better to impose a one child per family limit for a few generations, as there are seven billion people now using a lot of oil, food, fresh water and bog roll. Anyone who does produce more than one child has to either give them up for adoption or pay the state a sizeable fine. Harsh, but if we continue to reproduce unabated then we'll eventually have to start killing one another for what's left.

Oh and shoot Alan Carr.
