Take the choice of pregnancy out of women's, one persons hands, all together by making it commonplace for teen boys to freeze sperm and get vasectomies. When they are older and SOBER they can choose when to assume the responsibilities of family and children instead of having it forced on them.

No more "accidental" unwanted pregnancies. Fewer broken families, less stress on natural resources, less poverty, less divorce, less abuse, less domestic violence, less suicide, less mental health issues due to the stress of providing and caring for larger than wanted family and above all less people.

I would try to teach people about over consumption.

Get rid of religion that requires you to have children heck get rid of all of them. Without disease to control population we would need to limit the number of children to a family most likely 1. The large countries with excess populations would need to export them to lower pop nations. Birth control and abortions might need to be enforced by nations. Economics would play a very large role as it is the poor with large families that are now causing the problems in third world nations and those that are Muslim.

I would develop a virus that is deadly..but only affects people with a surname that begins with the any letters of the alphabet from N through to Z.

It's not going to be easy to train this virus, but it should in theory it should take out Trump.

You suggest that the Pope is a responsible world leader and the opposite is probably the case. The Catholic church, and probably all churches, want people to have babies to eventually fill the pews even when the prospective parents are not capable of being responsible parents. Instead of paying irresponsible whores to have babies at the expense of society in general I would place them in a commune type situation to work and be educated until they are able to provide evidence that they are capable of making responsible decisions and giving the child a chance to develop into a responsible adult. It might be the Native American genes in me but I believe a tribal community where all adults take part in rearing all children would serve us much better. It appears to me that all of our problems eventually come back to the corrupt legal profession.

Things like free contraceptives are good ideas in and of themselves, but overpopulation (currently, at least) is a myth. We produce enough food for 10 billion already, for instance. What we need is better access and greater equality.

Expanding Health care, education, access to contraceptives, and equal rights for women. It is already working.

Overpopulation is not the problem. It is 1st world nations with low birth rates that consume, pollute and fuck the world more than counties with high birth rates.

Castrate all the men and sterilize the women. That should do it ??
