Step it Up and Earth Day

Step it Up and Earth Day are coming. What's to be done about Global Warming?
Actually, the solution to all environmental problems is very simple. A two pronged attack will solve everything and it won't cost a dime.
First, stop the growth in human population.
Second, reverse the population level to about half of what it now is.
Of course, business, governments and religions would fight like hell to prevent either solution from happening. All three have a vested interest in there being more and more people.
Business and government are only interested in their own wealth and power here and now, without much interest in the future beyond their lifetime.
Religions, many if not most, can hardly wait for the end of the world. They are more interested in having as many people born as quickly as possible so some magic number of souls can be reached, thus ending this world.
Sorry to be so blunt and negative but efforts to cut back on pollution to slow or stop global warming are destined to failure because more and more people is what creates more and more pollution.
More people equals more houses and cars which cause pollution to build and maintain.
More and more people equals the need for more and more and more food, which equals more and more forestland converted to farm land, which equals the need for more and more fertilizer and more and more water, and more and more fish being caught and on and on and on.
I think you get the idea.
