Population reduction

Global Climate change is already and will increase the reduction of population on earth. There will be many secondary effects like the Zika Virus and other pandemics as the world gets hotter. This also will cause many deaths especially in poorer countries where there is no medical infrastructure to save enough lives. Anyone who looks at all this realistically sees this.

In a way this is all happening because as a human race we cannot all get together to change our ways fast enough for it to go another way. Otherwise we would all just overpopulate and increase in numbers until we all died some other way.

I don't think there is a good way to deal with all this. Whether we die from overpopulation or humans die from global Climate change and it's secondary effects likely is inevitable.

The only thing that isn't inevitable is that we all go extinct as humans sometime in the next 500 to 1000 years. This we have a choice about. And we will have to be very industrious indeed not to go extinct the way things are going presently.

I was watching Ex Machina, the movie made in 2015 tonight and the creator of the female robots was saying something like: "Humans will go extinct one day and the artificially intelligent life we are now creating will wonder why and they will inherit the world from us."

This is one possibility. However, what actually happens in the end is up to each one of us.

Note: I made a mistake above. The Zika Virus is unlikely to kill a whole bunch of people. Instead it likely will paralyze a lot of people and either make babies that cannot ever talk or walk or work and likely also will prevent many births during the next few years from potential mothers who either decide not to get pregnant or who get tested and realize their baby is Zika and decide to have an abortion worldwide.

So, likely there will be many fewer babies born the next few years especially in the warmer more tropical areas of the world.
