well we're doing our best, the pope is doing his bit with the condom issue, we're launching wars where there needn't be any, we're leaving our own population to live on the streets if their economic value is considered too low. We're reducing domestically grown food to the level where if we are outbid on the open market there will be no way to feed our own population. We're driving up oil prices so that only the rich can afford to pollute heavily and you even have some americans arguing that they dont want free health care given out to everyone as only the rich should be allowed access to decent health care. And yet some people are still having 3 or more kids so clearly we arent doing enough to cull the numbers.
On a more serious note, I agree that population control is a vitial issue for the future, but then you get some saying "i want the right to as many kids as i want". until we accept that there is a problem to solve though, how can we begin to discus the solutions to the problem at hand. This is why denying the evidence is so harmfull. If it was just a case of people saying I believe electricity is really little fairies flying down the wires and taking turns in working the machinery inside, then we could sit back and laugh at them without concern, but its the fact that we need to address the issue that means we need to tackle the deniers.
