John Broder in today’s New York Times says the concept of “cap and trade”
is in wide disrepute, with opponents branding it “cap and tax.”  So what do
we do?  Of course we need to increase efficiency, reduce waste and protect
the environment, but these things will only slow the process we’re already
in.   What must be done is to reduce the fertility rate to below two, and
keep it below two until world population drops to about a third of what it
is now. It requires no draconian measures. We have only to educate women.
