Overpopulation

Human overpopulation is a growing concern, but I aslo agree that human ingenuity will prevail. Rather than simply waiting to die, humans could take action . We definently need to spread social awareness of this concern since many people are unaware of this issue. My theory is this, one day all of the world leaders might eventually settle their differences and find solutions to this problem. I don't think we give humans enough credit-only over the past 100 years some amazing technological advances have occured. Running away from our problems ( such as flying to the moon or mars) won't solve anything in my opinion. Certainly we could do more rather than exclaim, "We're doomed!". Possible ways of reducing population gowth is to reduce poverty, help developing countries, improve the status of women, and increase involvement in family planning. If worse comes to worse, we could build a time machine (in the future of course) and stop this mess from ever even happening...

i like your ideas of doing more than making education and family planning available to solve population problems. Reduce poverty and helping developing countries seems to be a better way of fixing our problem..
