You'll be all for that until you're the one getting killed.
Yea it probably won't happen within a few months but within, a few decades?also, you failed to take into account mortality into your math.
apparently, if you get the whole earth population and put them shoulder to shoulder, they could fill up monaghan
I was browsing my CNN app when I saw an article saying Earth is to reach 7 billion people by the end of this year. It said most of the growth will be in developing nations. However, my opinion on the matter is as follows:If you look back over the course of human history, particularly over the past 200 years, you see the population has been on the rise mostly due to technological breakthroughs. However, 12 kids in 1800 would be a dream come true.12 kids today would be financial Self Delete. And that's what this all boils down to is finance and life expectancy. In 1800 maybe 3 of those kids would survive. Today, they all probably would. Not only life expectancy, but people had many children on purpose to bring them income to support the family. Children would work the farms or work in factories. Today, children can't work and require schooling which costs money. It's become more expensive to raise children. Using these facts my prediction is that soon, the population will steadily decline and later stabilize. This also includes 3rd world countries as they are gradually pulled into the global financial system. /discuss populations n stuff
I'm discluding infant mortality obviously in my average children and the number of people who die after infancy and before childbirth is very, very low in the first world.
no fun allowed...;)
I sincerely believe that this is the only way to survive. With improved drilling technology we could easily start establishing cities in the earth's core. Not only would we be immune to most natural disasters on the surface, but we'd have infinite energy from the radioactive isotopes in it.
Err.. I haven't been in science class for a while, but I know Earth's core is over 12000 degrease, and made of Iron and Nickel... No isotopes.
Earth has the resources to support many more people. It's just the systems we have in place to manage those resources aren't the most efficient that we can have at the moment.
