The planet will eventually take care of that! Just give it a few thousand years.
The good news in the short term is that scientists believe the world's population is about to peak and will then actually start falling in about 2020. As nations get richer, birth rates drop and this, it seems, is starting to have an effect, even in India and China (tho the Chinese government also helped with its one child policy).
Might not seem like big news, but I imagine it's the first time in human existance that the population on the planet will stop increasing.
Of course, no reliable figures exist for population change during the last couple ice ages, so who knows if that statement is correct or not
