Dude, I am not saying whether or not the earths resources can sustain life for X years. All I said was overpopulation continues to trend in a negative (challenging direction) and said the resources are limited. There is just as much water (in all its states) as we had on earth 1 million years ago
Yeah, but noones gonna do anything about it. Unless the govt. starts killing people to make space. Or if we actually find a way to colonize other planets.
I wouldn't say it is currently a problem but it is an issue to be addressed in the not too distant future. There is only so much population the Earth can support at the current level of efficiency and once this is reached, inequality is the only option unless something significant is done. A balance of births and deaths or emigration to another planet would maintain the Earth at maximum population but have you ever tried to fit the maximum number of people in a lift (elevator)?
An increase in farming efficiency (less animals, more plants and vertical planting) would increase the maximum population but there is a point when a room becomes too crowded although technically more people could fit.
Yes, people often forget we need to balance human living space, farming space and natural space. Humans are already cutting a bit far into nature's areas.
We have limited resources as well as planet space , we have to put a cap on population or massive resource shortage will occur.
Lmfao dude how was that not blatantly obvious she was joking? 😂🤣🤣 i am starting to think you are one of the flat earthers and actually got offended lol
Of course it is. Especially with illegals and refugees always coming in plus legal immiigrant and dumbass idiots wanting to ban abortion. If they ban abortion it is over We run out of resources and natural food before long.
Yes, and elimination 90% of the people, including weirdo’s like me, would a good thing. However, I not volunteering until the after the other 90% goes.
It is. And it's a problem you can't fix anymore, before it's a problem in specific places, and you can't say it because you're labelled as racist for it.
Yes I totally think overpopulation is a problem and I feel we are already at it. I hunt and fish etc and every year I see the impact overtime of us humans on nature. It's destroying by not respecting the earth and our resources I think eventually will be hard to keep on continuing.
I don't think so, I think on a large scale human population will stagnate when we reach a point where we don't have enough food/water for more people, much like bacteria cultures stop growing when there is no longer enough nutrients to grow further.

Yes, and it trends to be larger each year. We have limited resources
Complete bull.
It’s bull that the earth has a limited set of resources?
Dude, don't believe the lies. Earth has plenty of food and water to go around forever.

I heard elon musk said underpopulation is the real problem because everyone is old now
Overall? Probably not. In some countries? Yes. But it has been going down recently. And will continue unless society changes.
Yeah, but noones gonna do anything about it. Unless the govt. starts killing people to make space. Or if we actually find a way to colonize other planets.
Or... Just have less children. When a family only needs to feed 3 people versus say 4-6, it makes uses much less resources and makes much less waste.

Overpopulation is, by definition, the condition where the number of existing population exceeds the capacity of the environment containing it.
What kind of brain damage does one need to suffer from to think this is not "actually a problem"?
Better question would be: are we having this problem? if yes can we solve an equivalent problem that would solve this problem? etc.
bit pedantic, you seem miserable.
@7Roses anything would be pedantic to people who suffer from brain damage 😢

Picture is fake NASA lies because the earth is flat
Wow that's ignorant, if the earth was flat you could literally walk off the edge
Can you not take a joke
Sorry it's so funny I forgot to laugh 😐 what a bad joke
Lmfao dude how was that not blatantly obvious she was joking? 😂🤣🤣 i am starting to think you are one of the flat earthers and actually got offended lol
Ikr, this man has laughing issues
Missing that funny bone dontcha know!

Overpopulation depends on the area.
Europe and the USA and Japan, for instance, all have low birth rates and decreasing populations.
Africa, for example, needs mass sterilization to prevent overpopulation consuming the planet.
Yes. Our resources will run out eventually and polution worldwide doesn't make it any better
no for it is Gods world and he will populate it the way he wants to ! Thanks
Idiot
I hope you're trolling
Yes. It ultimately is the root cause of all other problems on Earth.
For resources, and economic development requiring smaller families and smarter people, then yes.
Yes, and elimination 90% of the people, including weirdo’s like me, would a good thing. However, I not volunteering until the after the other 90% goes.

The problem I see is that everyone tries to be in all the same large cities.
EVERYONE ON EARTH CAN FIT HERE
you see that tiny red dot
yup that's all you need
and the numbers are a lie we have less than 7 to 8 billion
