Well, NYC sux compared to Revoltistan.
Is he Indian?Why not brinjal?
200 miles away is suburban NYC.NYC is way south of me, almost 200 miles, and also about 21 degrees warmer in NYC than it is here
A high of 51 F today here. And "light rain". That means that it rains enough to keep the ground wet. Sometimes it is almost like the weather is having a contest to see how little actual precipitation falls but everything is still soggy outside.NYC is way south of me, almost 200 miles, and also about 21 degrees warmer in NYC than it is here

No, this time, I think I could manage a kudo.Individual efforts won't solve the problem, but it makes
sense to do what one can.
I minimize driving & other activities that consume power.
I heat my shop to 35F.
I have a big collection of solar panels supplying home
& business.
Dang, I make myself sound so green & wonderful.
Could ya just puke!?
So do you have a recommendation on the best way to eliminate the 6 billion you think are superfluous? More importantly, how will you decide who they are, and who should live?1. Population control. Less than 2 billion humans would do nicely. Halting humanity by 8 billion would be a good start on this need.
The only moral way would be to find a way to convince people to have fewer children for a few generations until we got down to that number. If on could voluntarily get people to agree to one child each it would take two generations, or about fifty years, Well fifty years and then hold at two per generation. There would still be around four billion after the fifty years, but as people aged and died after only having one for that period of time and only two after that it would eventually stabilize at the two billion mark.\So do you have a recommendation on the best way to eliminate the 6 billion you think are superfluous?

I suspect, actually, that there is a little something of a eugenics programme in that. After all, there would be precious few resources available to care for the elderly and dying, and those few resources would inevitably wind up serving the more elite among us.The only moral way would be to find a way to convince people to have fewer children for a few generations until we got down to that number.

And form of eugenics should not be part of the solution.
That already exists to an extent. This would begin to allow an end to that.I suspect, actually, that there is a little something of a eugenics programme in that.

All that urban warming effects.NYC is way south of me, almost 200 miles, and also about 21 degrees warmer in NYC than it is here
Speak for yourself!I just converted 10 degrees Fahrenheit to Celsius. No one is having sex in that

There is that. but if you go due east from NYC what do you see and what is its temperature?All that urban warming effects.
Children are more than just old age insurance policies. But I am on your side, we should be reducing the population voluntarily.What are yre you trying to do, undermine the sweater/jumper industry?
Almost all problems facing the world are a result of our numbers, directly or indirectly.
Children are traditionally are old-age insurance policies and family/village muscle.
When you live at or beyond your region's carrying capacity, interpersonal predation, exploitation, raiding and war become viable social strategies.
Lower population = adequate resources for everyone, with concomitant increase in safety and security.
When large-family traditions and social pressure fade, as has happened in China; or if safety and security increase through social policies or increased government monopoly on power and law enforcement, as has happened with more centralized government, families do voluntarily have fewer children. Children become financial burdens and hindrances to opportunity, with no more mitigating benefits.
Add tax breaks, financial and social incentives, education and small-family propaganda, and I'd expect population to drop rapidly and voluntarily.
Our economies and social systems are tailored to perpetual growth. On a finite planet, this is obviously unsustainable. Social systems will have to be re-organized to care for a surfeit of elderly people, and reduced consumerism, till a new, low-population equilibrium is reached.
