population will just keep on increasing no matter what, unless...
Yes unless, the first and emerging economies stop:

1- Thinking in terms of GROWTH at all costs.
2- Wasting resources to satisfy their "lust" for comfort and self gratification.
3- Corrupting politicians in third world countries who must guarantee above board management of their countries.

5- The poor are NOT kept poor by cleptocrats in developing countries. The corrupted must be punished. The briber must suffer the exact same punishment. Billions upon billions of Aid money has been given to corrupt politicians who have invested that same money in the first world country or at very best bought "unnecessary" goods for their country to keep them in power such as armaments (the most corrupt industry in the world!)
