No doubt our growing population puts a strain on the planet. But I'm amazed by how many here want to exterminate 3/4 to 9/10 of the human population rather than taking the easy step of changing the food they themselves eat. Selfishness is so easiy exposed. Privileged people who can choose "grass fed" beef or have the economic advantage to eat meat with every meal seem more willing to wipe the human populations of Africa and Asia off the face of the earth instead of willingly give up the luxuries of fried chicken, steak, and lobster for the planet. I'm shocked, and ashamed to be part of this forum. Yes, I said lobster. Lobsters don't contibute to global warming, but over-fishing is killing off so many species.
