Ok, here's the simple version.
Is the earth overpopulated? We need ten acres per person, because each person needs 1/2 acre of land for food to grow and 95% of all land is ice, rock, desert, or otherwise not suitable for growing crops. For example, one paper I read today said 20% of the earth was covered by permafrost. if the soil is more or less permanently frozen, you're not going to be growing any coconuts! We have 36.9 billion acres of land on the planet. We have 7.2 billion people. That's 5.1 acres per person. The last time I did this math in about the year 2000, there were 7 acres per person. We're losing ground. So, at the maximum we need about 3.5 billion people on the planet.
How do we reduce the population? There are two simple methods: 1) we do it, or 2) we do nothing and let nature take its course.
Your choice!
