Overcrowding

In the climate change thread, someone said that the planet is overpopulated with Homo-Sapiens.

1. Stop sending aid to crowded countries or countries with increasing populations

2. Stabilize our own population with a one-out, one-in policy
..........?

Problem with (1) is that number of kids is directly correlated with wealth so really we need to raise the standard of living in poor countries. Aid is very inefficient at doing this.
And for 2, well Europe, Russia, Japan are already de-populating (without immigration). Asia, Americas are relatively stable. So we have a ME & Africa demographic problem and we are seeing the results of that already.

It does seem madness to encourage population growth all around the world in the name of "humanity", when anyone with a modicum of forethought can see that, contrarily, it will lead to ultimate humanitarian disaster as resources run out and the environment (forestation mainly) is f***ed.

But what can we do about it as a nation? What about:

1. Stop sending aid to crowded countries or countries with increasing populations

2. Stabilize our own population with a one-out, one-in policy

3. Send Andyw on a world tour with a van-load of condoms

Any other suggestions?
