Radical proposals to address climate change and the housing crisis

I don't really see how declining birth rates is a bad thing. Less resource strain, less pollution, lower carbon footprint. The slower we drain the Earth of its minerals and vespene gas, the longer we can survive as a species.

If this is something different, I apologize for my ignorance, but land reclamation into bays and rivers doesn't seem all that radical to me.

It really depends on whether the next generation is going to be problem-solvers or not.

There should be no pressure to have kids.

What if every dredge in the world started taking dirt from the sea floor and using that dirt for levees or something?

If every single dredge were used in this manner, could we keep up with melting ice?
