    Too many people. Forced population control is the only possibly and effective remedy.

    Nope. We need to basically half the population to make a dent.

    Most of the problem is in the 3rd world and China.

    Remember the disintegration chamber in one episode of the original Star Trek series? Your lottery number comes up and you step into the chamber and get your molecules disassembled. We’d have to make sure that none of them combined into CO2, but I think they were onto something.

    Turns out trees convert carbon dioxide into oxygen. Who knew? We should plant some more of those things.

    Humans turn oxygen into carbon dioxide. We should have less humans.
