interesting possibility... considering it would take HOW MANY YEARS to even fly to Mars? Plus when you factor in the Van Allen Radiation Belt, long space travel may not truly be a reality, yet.
Well for one thing, I'd send the plants and machines at the same time. That way there's no downtime for the plants to get there when enough CO2 is created.

Humans have been here for thousands of years. We ain't going anywhere.

You bring up a great point. Earth has huge ****ing tracts of land that we haven't even exploited yet. Plus look at all the ****ing water! Are you telling me we can't terraform a few islands and move some people?

Bio-domes on Greenland, bitch!

There's also the opportunity to move people underground if need be.

Anyway, have a look-see at those essays i posted previously...

You think Russia is teeming at the edges with people? Hell no. There's ample room for people to migrate, to.

BIO DOMES!

I heard a report today that 8 million Africans will die in the next 20 years from AIDS. If we can get those kinds of rates in a few undesirable countries too, the over-population thing might work itself out.

This is the whole Malthusian argument, which I think has been solved. If humans add net value to society, there is no such thing as overpopulation, because they'll add more resources than they consume. The problem only occurs when you have people who require more resources than they produce.

Now youre assuming that the resources are the same. What about trees? Can humans produce more trees than they consume over a 150 year time frame?

8 million is about 2% of the population fwiw....

I thought the number was 80 million, but I could be wrong.

I think it was 80 million...it just didn't sound right when I was typing it.


So is that a better start Nightfyre?

20% is a start. However the people being eliminated are those whom are least taxing on the environment...
