The world is way overpopulated with humans, that is 99% of our problem today, will this problem correct itself through natural selection or will it be helped along? Or is it just going to contiually become more and more overpopulated until there is no room to even lay down?

Population control of any given species is multi-pronged. The out-growing of the available food supply, but in some populations, mother nature has provided a very ingenious device involved sexual orientation and even neutral genders. As global warming begins to take over, we will encounter a shortage of food supplies (as most farmland of the world is in low-laying areas and a battle to survive will considerably reduce the population. Most countries are trying to stem the population by birth control, but it is too little too late. We need to achieve zero population growth but this is hampered by increased life-span and better medications. Look at India as a country that is totally out of control with its birth rate, diminishing food supplies and only superficial efforts to change.

It won't correct itself. The birth rate is sky rocketing a lot faster than the death rate is - especially in india where they simply don't believe in the pill. It's all well and good to say "it'll be alright" but the reality is you have to ask how much the earth can sustain 6 billion people when it's really should be around 2b?

The population is always rising.

The world goes in cycles. There is a growth cycle, and there is the death cycle. mankind has reduced death rates and populated like bunnies on drugs. Be happy for now that you are still alive but in a few more decades, the world will sooner or later have a major extinction. It's part of nature to do this. She brings life, she kills life. PLAIN AND SIMPLE!! EARTH IS FINITE not INFINITE in resources.

Someone lied to you. There is enough ocean front land in America for every American to have a house. People live packed into cities like sardines because they choose to. Every person in the world would fit into Texas. It'd be tight, but they'd fit. The overpopulation story is just liberal propaganda designed to keep abortion legal.

I know how to take care of overpopulation. Let's send all those who think the world is overpopulated to a place where they'd have plenty of room--like the moon.

Malthus suggested that overpopulation would casue war over the securing of resources but the Club of Rome suggested that technology would continue to improve and provide the solutions to over population

Nope. The governments of industrialised nations are more concerned about falling birth rates & are worried about nobody paying taxes when the present generation dies & are giving incentives for couples to have more children.

The poor countries are having children a dime a dozen, most of whom are to help raise money by begging on the streets.

There will eventually be a nuclear war and we'll all die.

Either that or we'll get more outbreaks of diseases which we cannot cure. Whenever a population gets out of control, weird diseases crop up to decimate the entire population (bubonic plague). I suppose it doesn't help that weird viruses and diseases are coming out since the Amazon rainforest is being destroyed...but oh well. I still like driving my suv.

Oh joy a geeko freak! The world is NOT over populated.
If it was then there would be nowhere to grow food, alow the wild animals to roam, and we would not be replanting trees and other plants in the areas where human growth is NOT going on!

It's overpopulated? Did you take a social and environmental survey, or did someone just cut you off in traffic?
