Nature will resolve the problem, there are plenty of remedies, but they
are all indiscriminate.

Exactly, nobody is going to walk into a disintegration machine voluntarily
are they?
The point is that birth rates are dropping in many developed countries, but
increasing in underdeveloped ones. This is because babies die more often in
underdeveloped countries, and as they climb out of poverty or migrate to
safer societies it will take several generations for them to limit their
offspring.

There is a very strong correlation between the education of girls and
birth rate.
