| 1446752 | 2018-02-27 00:49:00 | My question to climate change believers, is this. What if temperatures really started rising, and the sea levels really started rising, so that we could all see it and agree. What would you suggest that we do about it now? - urgently! Well Digby, the temperatures are rising, as are the sea levels. I have just finished reading a book called "Drawdown" which deals with the many things that we can do, and it attempts to rank the effectiveness of them. The book is in the Auckland library system if you are interested. There is also www.drawdown.org |

Karamea Dave had some good radical suggestions. My suggestion would be to introduce compulsory sterilisation for all women once they have had one child. Do this for say 30 years and the worlds population would start to fall and therefore use less stuff. That is the only one thing that we could do right now easily that would have an immediate effect. |

The Japanese (or was it Chinese) have laws that say they can only have two children, it was one, but it changed not so long ago. |

It was China, and they had that law for quite a while, but they repealed it a few years ago. My point is that some countries and area are producing far too many children that will all one day want cars and a tv etc and a phone and food and trees for firewood. These are India China Indonesia The Philippines Brazil Uganda Nigeria Egypt. Pakistan Bangladesh Those countries all have either huge populations or large populations with limited resources. The population of Africa is predicted to double in the next few decades, and the muslim world breed like locusts and live in deserts! (It may come across as rascist - but those populations have to be slowed and reversed for a while.) |

| 1446761 | 2018-02-27 17:21:00 | Syria ia doing a fairly good job of reducing its population Digby, both by bomb and encouraged migration. As for China burning coal they are now the worlds largest solar electric producer, something that we should be leading the world in given how sunshine we have, but 9 years of zero investment and no policies to make it happen certainly don't help. Electric cars are not the answer yet as we often run out of electric production if the hydro lakes have a dry spell |
