This is just retarded. There's now over 8 billion human beings, more than ever in history. You're saying that 100% of human history that there's been too few people.

Meanwhile we are in the middle of a war in an area of the middle east that had, until recently, 2 million people but only enough water for about 600,000. And we just had to evacuated virtually the entire northern canada due to forest fires last year (and this year forest fire season/spring is....already starting, about 2 months too early), alberta is facing a water crisis, saskatchewan is complaining that the economics of living here don't make sense, and let's not even get started about the people who are fleeing haiti this week.

That's not an underpopulation problem. That's a training and human capital problem. One we could be addressing if we weren't stuck with other problems that come when there's too many people, and not enough resources to deal with them.
