....or reduce the Human population by about 80%. Let's drop the big one!

That choice comes naturally to the human race... We call them WWI, WWII and so on...

The amount of reduced population grows with each new cycle we commit to on those, so we have become more effective and efficient with time!

The N bombs themselves are not even as scary and bad, as the chain reaction they'll cause on all the other stuff we have going on the side around the developed world...

Surviving a nuclear holocaust will be the easy part to surviving in the aftermath for generations...

The first nation to colonize the Moon, Mars and who knows, will be the only one to carry on the human race as we know it... They'll be the ones that will create the new civilization based on their own traits of their population and culture. Odds point that China is going to be the most likely to blast off on a colonization program before everyone else.

Earth is poisoned and dying a cancer like death, using N bombs will only speed up the end... Just a very light shift on any of the Earth's crusts will create so much change on the surface all around, that having to deal with radiation contamination will seem like avoiding puddles after the rain in comparison...

When Europeans f--ed up their continent they looked West. When the Americans finish with their new half, they better be looking up or else...

Population nears 7 billion: Can we handle it? - World news - msnbc.com

I suggest population dense regions. The Human damage we save the planet will more than compensate for a little radiation here and there....and screw the neutron bomb. Who's gonna miss a bunch of dirt floor shacks?

Earth is not quite 5 billion years old. For about half that time, it's been besieged by little critters generally referred to as "life."* Every now and then, they get nearly wiped out in mass extinctions, which happens when you're riding shotgun on a planet with active tectonics that hangs out in a shooting gallery of a solar system.

Things return to "normal" for a while, until the next event. It's the way of things (assuming your calendar operates in terms of hundreds of millions of years.)

People have been around for a relatively short time. We almost got wiped out about 75 thousand years ago when a supervolcano went ker-BLOOEY in the Pacific, but enough people made it for us to make it.

I'd be surprised if we succeed in colonizing an airless space (like the moon) or something with a very thin atmosphere (like Mars), especially if we don't have the technology to throw our own garbage in a bin and drive less often. But, that's just me.

The GOOD news is the really, really bad stuff won't happen (about 100 times longer than the recorded history of mankind (about 10,000 years (and ten months or so), but here's a sneak preview for the "Hakuna Matata" crowd:

In another billion years, things will get too hot for liquid water, so most life will be wiped out anyway.

About three billion years later, our sun will expand and wipe out Mercury, Venus, and us, prior to reducing itself to a lifeless husk.

*Note the search for intelligent life on Earth continues, although they're making great progress with Dolphins....
