I disagree. The Gates foundation actually does nothing to fund sterilization programs. Their main actions have been providing health services and disease cures for people in Africa and the result has been a population boom. Even with AIDS deaths, countries like Liberia have 30 times the population growth of America.
I know what China does is wrong but what would happen if each person there had eight kids? There are no good answers there.
Many of the areas you're talking about are not livable areas. Alaska could support millions of more people but the quality of life would go way down. Tens of millions would not be possible. The reason people can afford to live in many of those areas is because they have high paying jobs in the oil or fishing industry. Most resources there have to be imported and at a huge cost. It would be impossible to live there and people would start depleting the game resources there at an alarming rate. Look at Japan, even with a negative birth rate, they still have huge problems for a large population. You can't find an aprtment for months, driving is nearly impossible, people have to be pushed on to the subway. What if they all decided to have 10 kids?

Actually, it would be a good thing if the chinese population boom took place...because there would be so much competition, they would all reek havoc on their govt to do something and destroy the communist regime while wiping out their kind.
now, I don't mind the Chinese...However, china is a dangerous nation...I hope nature takes care of china as expected with the government's evilness.

Another worry too are the Chinese nationalist movments. They are very anti-western and I worry they could get out of hand.
What's scary is that the number one book in the USA is always a Danielle Steele novel and in China last year, it was a non fiction book about currency wars between the US and China.
