Population Control In Our Blighted Steampunk World
At long last - the mayors of every major metropolis in the world have announced they are to hold an Extraordinary Steampunk Convention to try to solve the catastrophic problem of Earth’s out-of-control population. With the eight billionth living citizen expected to be born in the next two year, and natural resources running almost to extinction - the last naturally grown tree was cut down two years ago - it has long been agreed that something has to be done. In a month’s time, the mayors of every city in the world will come together to meet and discuss possible solutions.
“And if anyone tries to leave the convention before we’ve agreed a strategy to solve over-population, I’ll drag them back in myself!” promised Mosni Hobarek, Mayor of Cairo.
Oarak Bbama, Mayor of Washington DC, offered a more sober analysis of the difficulties facing the Metroplis Mayors: “It’s a great idea - but first we have to choose a venue,” he said with customary caution.
“Not to mention the sandwiches!” Joris Bhonson, Mayor of London uttered sotto-voice in the background.
