Population growth constraint and reduction is the biggest 'challenge' that faces human kind.
Settlements and installations in blatantly wrong places are a manifestation of unsustainable population levels.
The scale of tragedies such as the floods in New Orleans, Pakistan, Australia and the effects of tsunami in Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Japan etc etc etc are compounded by more and more people being in more and more wrong and unsuitable places.
Build a string of nuclear power stations on the 'Ring of Fire' in the target zone of tsunami? How desperately idiotic is that? Population growth drives stupidity.
Population reduction - that is the key to reducing human suffering.
Will the capitalist 'movers and shakers' be interested - 'What, reduce our customer base? You must be joking!'

Even Cornwall's recent flooding experiences in Mevagissey, Lostwithiel, Looe, St Ives, St Austell, Truro etc etc etc have been compounded by over population and overdevelopment on both flood plains and higher ground exacerbating the impact of flood waters during times of heavy rainfall with and without coincidence with high spring tides. Self inflicted harm and destruction.
