Should We Downsize the Human Body?

It seems saving the planet is a big deal, a world-wide goal, but, if we are truly going to save the planet we need to consider a few things first. For instance can 10 Billion people live on the surface of the planet and if so, will the planet sustain them all? How about 15 or 20 Billion? Well, at our current consumption levels most likely not. What if we reduce or consumption; can it be possible then?

Okay, let's say it is, that is to say the surface of the Planet can sustain 20 Billion carbon based bi-peds? Then how about 30 Billion, what is the upward limit, should we be so ego-centric to challenge our resources to the point of exhaustion? No, probably not. So, we must downsize our populations through birth and population controls.

Has anyone considered that Humans are currently too big, take too much energy, and are increasing in unsustainable numbers for living on the "surface" of this planet anyway? Why not control population growth, plus, use our bio-sciences to downsize the actual size of the humans on the planet? After all, we have no predators anymore, we are king of the food chain.

Three to four foot high humans ought to be a better idea, less crowded, less food, more efficient and everyone including Mother Earth wins, right? Sure, it makes sense, so why not work on that? Evolution has allowed for species to get smaller or bigger through many generations to adapt to food supply, oxygen levels, etc. So, maybe we ought to take a page out of our evolutionary play book? Think on this.
