Good thing we're not really, since global warming is a myth.

Why doesn't he?
He thinks it's environmentally unsound to have more than two children (in a developed country?). I see no lack of right in him to tell this to the world.
I should re-word that. He can say it, but it's wrong.
He'll have no right to do it when he tries to enforce a law telling people what a decent number of kids to have is.Ahhh dear...

Global warming is not the be all and end all of evironmental conservation. With increasing populations you're going to run into water supply problems first anyway.

Huh. That's a rather unique and, I must say, deliciously evil approach. *golfclap*

Hold on surely:
Higher population=Less water=Hihger death rate= Lower population= More water
so in theory the problem would sort its self out

Oh of course the problem would self correct. In the form of mass death. People don't like mass death for obvious reasons.

As much as I'd love to take the easy route to solving the population issue, doing this would cause immense complications.
You honestly don't believe if there were Population Laws, that everyone would follow them? Millions of children would be born illegally, complications would be immense, it'd be pointless.
It would fail in a matter of months.
I agree, population issues are increasing daily, but we can't just limit reproductive offspring and call it a day. It doesn't work that way. We either need to distribute the resources being consumed differently, find new ways to produce them, and once we're producing them, use that time to figure out alternative ways to stablize the consumption desires.
For example, people want oil, oil's running out. Stop depending on foreign oil, drill offshore, stablize oil production and satisfy consumption demands, utilize the time to study and develop alternative resources further, and slowly transition from A. to B.
It's far more complex than that, but it's the general picture.
