So you're advocating genocide. Great.

Just so you know, there isn't too many people for the planet. The planet can handle a lot more. What it can't handle is this many people at the US's level of consumption. But not consumption of food of medicine, but of banal shit like driving huge trucks with 10 MPG everywhere instead of using public transport, or overnight shipping for new iphone every year.

The simple solution is to stop consuming like crazy, which can be easily achieved by adding the planet-destroying externalities to price of everything.

Instead of, you know, genocide.
