Yes, pyroteck, that is a good idea. I was just thinking of limiting children to one per household until population leveled off, then two per houshold. Your idea is better.
Of course, it won't happen in our present system. All the old religions are against controlling or even slowing the birthrate, and our secular way of thinking is so cautions about alienating the faithful, that we have a public opinion in which the idea never pops up in the media at all. It is not even printed in magazines, books or scientific journals.
Yet, controlling our numbers is the one most important thing that must be done to slow and then stop the growing struggle between the religious-bonded mega-systems like "the West" and Islam---as well as individual nations---over the diminishing resources.
What it will take is a whole new world-view and way of thinking. Our present world-view came into existence in the 18th century. A possible replacement exists and can be found at
