| Step in the wrong direction. Most countries should have the one child policy and strictly enforce it. The planet is already overpopulated and this will just get worse. |

It's still very poor policy. China's future demographic problems will dwarf its overpopulation issue. Imagine a society in which 1/2 of all members are dependents (mostly seniors).

uh no it's not. research: the population problem... this planet can sustain about 2 billion humans with current technology. right now we are burning the candle at both ends. |

There are widely accepted calculations of how many resources in terms of land for food production, energy, pollution etc. we use and the simple result is that it's too much. Read for example The Limits to Growth (among others) where this view is explained in detail. |
