I think all our world problems including poverty, global warming, terrorism and wars will come to an end if humans stopped reproduction. As cute as babies are they are the root cause of tomorrow's continued world problems and if could only make up our minds to stop making babies we could bring all this to a peaceful end.
The average human life expectancy is around 70 years, which means the world can come to a peaceful end in just 70 years. Now some analysts might argue that the life expectancy is as high as 70 only because of the younger population supporting the older population and the life expectancy is going to fall if we stop reproducing.
Although that's a fair point, we humans are smart enough to figure out a plan to gracefully exit the planet by preemptively allocating resources to the aging population.
Besides human extinction is inevitable. It might be global warming, the sun's surface temperature rise or the Andromeda galaxy collision in the increasing order of time-line. And all assuming we don't kill each other with nukes before that.
What this means is that at some point we need to prepare ourselves for the exit plan. And when such a time comes, it will be at the Universe's will and not likely in our terms. So why not do it now when we have ample time and resources ?
This is the one time when humans can live peacefully in this planet during their time and exit gracefully.
