The human population is increasing at an unprecedented rate across the globe and its safe to assume that many resources that we take for granted (such as space, food, water, gas, electricity etc.) will be in short supply.

A solution to this problem would be to decrease the number of humans over time. How would you do this /sci/?

Every single time population control is mentioned without exception, one of you reply with "well, 1st world birth rates are declining." We already know. Best case scenario is that the population control is useless as birth rates naturally fall, worst case scenario is that the issue is totally ignored and places like Asia and Africa continue producing an increasing amount of amounts of trash and pollution.

The current trend of low fertility rates will inevitably reverse itself. The only reason why fertility rates are low now is because natural selection hasn't had time to catch up with the modern environment. In several generations, the people with low fertility will be weeded out of the gene pool, and the "breeders" will inevitably become the majority of the population.

This is false and the newest papers from Harvard actually show that the reduction in fertility rate is highly correlated with internet access. Which is reaching even the poorest people on the globe due to smartphones and 4G access.

People stop fucking because they have superior forms of entertainment now.

The UN has already identified underpopulation to be humanities biggest problem in the 2100s due to how rapidly fertility is dropping. This has to do with procreation becoming the inferior choice due to technology giving better alternatives. NOT with culture/evolution as you're implying.

The drop in fertility rates is seen in EVERY country among EVERY demographic. Poor/middle class/Rich experience the same drop. Educated/Uneducated experience the same drop. Religious/atheist experience the same drop

It's an universal trend caused by advancing technology steering our attention away from sex towards other forms of leisure.

Proof from a source in the last five years? All of the earlier programs that lowered reproductive rates through education, access to birth control, and female empowerment have turned out to be short lived. These programs were never scalable and once the NGOs left, even the test groups reverted to their natural high reproductive rates.
Fifteen years ago we were convinced the population bomb was defused through westernization of the third world. Now all of the optimistic population forecasts have been revised back upwards due to the complete failure of these once promising programs.

Nothing you are saying does anything to refute anything in the aforementioned articles. The fact that technology is causing fertility rates to drop NOW doesn't mean that it will remain that way for the rest of time. You are only looking at fertility rates in the short term.

The effects of natural selection on fertility can already be seen in France vs. Germany, for instance. The French had a demographic transition about 5 generations ago, whereas the Germans had theirs about 3 generations ago. Native French, due to having more time for evolution to take effect, not have have about 1.5x the fertility rate of native Germans.

Even if you are right, and it is somehow magically impossible for the human brain to become resistant to the fertility damaging effects of technology, that still doesn't refute anything I'm saying. The Old Order Amish, for instance, have one of the highest fertility rates of any religious group in the US. The Amish are projected to have a population of around 7 million by 2100, despite currently only having a population of around 300,000. Furthermore, the defection rate of the Amish is decreasing, due to selection pressure increasing the "Amish Quotient". Even if the low fertility you describe is somehow permanent, all that that means is that the future will be dominated by technology-averse peoples like the Amish.

Food production per capita is actually increasing and global warming will have an initial effect in INCREASING the agricultural yields.

We're at about 400ppm CO2 right now and photosynthesis of agricultural plants will actually become more efficient at it increases causing us to get more and more food when global warming intensifies up to ~800ppm when it slowly reduces again.

Also total ecological collapse is only expected to happen at 4C warming. We're now at about 0.8-1.2 degrees warming and we're expected to reach 4C warming at our current pace around the year 2250 assuming we don't develop better technology in the mean time and keep increasing our usage of power and don't adapt any more green technology compared to now.

Kind of like the warnings Native American tribes gave each other about the white man coming in and conquering all their lands.
>They're from far away and their ships carry so few, we can destroy them easily whenever we want
>A few settlements are ok. We have plenty of extra land. Stop worrying everyone.
>Our share of the land is sufficient. They promise to keep to their areas.
>The reservation has plenty of space and they promise to help us adjust
>Well, at least we have casinos

Actually, almost all of us benefit from population growth. However, some benefit more than others. The people who get "first dibs" are usually employed by construction companies (who build the new infrastructure required by a larger population), banking (who finance the construction), and extraction (who acquire the raw materials needed for construction). These benefits are enjoyed first by large corporations and their employees, but then "trickle out" into the wider economy making all our lives easier.

That is the sad truth of our reality, and your unwillingness to accept it suggests that you are one of the people who "gets first dibs" on the benefits of population growth.

They flip flop all the time. If you didn't know 4chan between 2005-2011 was actually very left wing, atheist etc. The "jews" and "niggers" were mostly just jokes or trying to troll people.

From 2012 culminating in 2016. The exact same posters started to become right wing and racist. Most likely due to taking their own ironic jokes seriously as well as movements such as "redpill" anti-women stuff and things like "beta/alpha" "friendzone" bullshit tricking the autists here that they needed to be more aggressive to finally get their waifu.

My Solution is this: Sea Colonies !

You know I thought of this idea while playing videogames. Here's what I think will happen in the future. People will build gigantic sea infrastructure to support millions of people in locations where Islands are located, like the Caribbean. Once the technology is developed or some sort of innovation with technology is made, human civilization will expand into the Ocean.

They will be like today's Underwater Hotels, except it will be infrastructure to support an entire society (Aquatic Farms, Hospitals, Schools, Malls, etc.) that can contain millions of people, and the Chinese will help build these Sea Colonies.

They'll be like an artificial extension of Islands that already exist. However ultimately they will become entirely new artificial nations as well, simply because they'll naturally grow in number and demands to become nations.
