Disaster fatigue is setting in big-time worldwide. There have just been too many disasters this last decade for the civilization of earth to respond to in a really meaningful way. There is enough food and enough water for all humans alive right now. The problem is it costs too much to deliver so 10s of millions likely will starve to death this year. The disaster fatigue is understandable so what individuals can't do nations must step up to the plate and do. The alternative is to watch millions waste away every year this century with the numbers dying increasing every year.
Some might be callous enough to say it is survival of the fittest or natural selection and in a callous sense they might even be right. However, who among us has the right to say who lives and who dies? Only during wars do most people make these kinds of decisions. However, wars disturb the earth and only create more chaos most of the time. The kinds of things that create the worst wars are AIDS out of control, starvation out of control and gangs and warlords out of control as well as various epidemics.
The world must figure either a way to provide compulsory birth control worldwide or provide a meal and clothes and shelter for those born. The whole earth civilization together is responsible for what happens to all humans. If ten million humans starve to death the whole civilization of earth is responsible en masse.
