As a society, we should address this. I'm more a fan of spreading ourselves across the cosmos and stepping off the planet than say mandated controls here, but it is something we should be discussing. There is a point in time where there isn't enough world for all the people on the world to live a moral life. (and its odd we seem comfortable in many ways that "War" is this answer..)

Virtually everyone alive now is going to die on this planet, and their children, and their children's children. It's vaguely possible that someday we may find a place elsewhere for future generations to destroy eventually also, But no more than a tiny few are going to get to go; it will make no difference to the people left behind. We will have to continue to struggle on with what we have.
