      Super tough and super political. China tried to do it for a long time by stopping people having kids, but it didn’t really work, because rich people still could. We think by 2100 there could be 12 billion humans! My dad thinks that the dinosaurs wiped themselves out because they were greedy like us- they got too big and too angry and killed each other! What we need to do is figure out how best we survive- because it is hard to feed that many people. We’re going to have to work on sustainable energy and food supplies. Maybe you can research that in your science degree?
