Even if we tried to do something as radical as cut global birth rates by 80% for a generation or two, what we'd get would be the "Idiocracy Effect" on steroids. The answer to that problem would be to have a birth lottery, but there ain't nobody in the world going to agree to that. Even if they did, serious population decline wouldn't begin for a generation, and that's far too long to stop the onset of the storm.
No, the answer is what it's always been. The die has been cast, the game is afoot, the elephant is already comfortably seated on the living-room sofa, we have to play the hand we've been dealt, we made our bed and now we have to lie in it, etc.
Those who understand the need and have the ability to contribute will help nibble away around the edges of the problem, but the the broad shape of the unfolding crisis will not be altered.
That's why I've decided just to be a witness to the changes - I know what's happening, I know what's probably coming,and I know I can't do a blessed thing to stop it, so I might as well watch in wonder.
