I don't know if it is the solution but it is something...
We need to change the way we live or we will all die
Hello minervx! First of all, Yes I mean "we" as all humans everywhere. I know it is very broad but my point is that this is a problem every human should have an interest in. First, A few arguments of yours actual prove my point. "Quality of life would be absolutely terrible, We'd enter a dark age and our whole lifestyle would change, " This is exactly the argument I am making! However I understand that you believe we will get to this "change" naturally. However, This once again goes back to my Darwin point. This change will NOT occur naturally because naturally we will do exactly what the bacteria does and spread and reproduce all the way to our demise. The change that needs to occur is unnatural. Once again I have a few ideas for change in mind but that is not my point. We all need to put our minds together to come up with a solution. "we wouldn't be extinct or endangered. The big causes of extinction for other species such as highly restrictive diet and natural predators don't exist for people. " Once again another point I am trying to make. We are just like the bacteria. We have all the resources we need to survive and reproduce and we have no predators. Yes it is mostly the underdeveloped countries growing but the truth is the world will still hit 10 billion in 2050. We already kill 56 billion animals a year for food and resources. This will only increase until the planet can no longer sustain us. You ask "Is it feasible to control population? ". Great question! Once again proves my point. Somethings NEEDS to be done. I don't know if it is the solution but it is something that needs to be looked into. You go on saying "And even if the rest of my country uses clean energy, What happens when other countries like China refuse to? Do we need a global government to enforce this? ". You are pointing out a lot of problems that could ensue if we do attempt to save the human race. But what is the alternative? Do nothing? You actually seem pretty keen on "we'll be fine". I will agree with you that it is possible that a very small percentage of the human race would survive if nothing is done. However, If 99% of the population dies, I see that as very worrying. The future of the human race would be in the hands of a very small amount of people. We have been given a chance to change our fate. A chance to break the natural cycle. I think we should try to take it.
