By the way, can you imagine what would happen if you posted this in General Discussion or Environment/Energy? Hopeful views of the future are simply not allowed there. It's all Doom, Doom, Doom and Gloom.

Edited to add: I forgot to mention Latest Breaking News: Check out the responses to the news about world population reaching 11 Billion by 2100.

They're gleefully predicting megadeaths (or is that gigadeaths) from:

Starvation, and/or
effects of global warming, and/or
plagues like Ebola.

The idea that we might be able to bring population under control isn't even considered. I considered posting something to the effect that birthrates in most of the developed world is already below the replacement rate; but, the signal would be lost in the noise.
