Population Growth is Destroying our Environment

2007-01-10 17:44:23 · answer #1 · answered by Brown guy 2 · 2 1

In advanced societies, such as North America, Europe and Japan, the population grows mostly by immigration because birth rate is low, usually less than 2. The incoming immigrants are coming in to improve their standard of living. So, although the existing residents may not like it, the population growth serves as a socio-economic equalizer between nations and societies.

in third-world countries the population growth is mostly due to very high birth rate, which must exceed the death rate due to poor health conditions and support services. The result is that these countries become gain political weight in the global economy and world politics. Did you notice how india, China and other such countries are gaining influence over the US and Western Europe?

It proves the dominance of the human race as a predatory species. (Not including insects, cos they, by numbers actualy rule the planet, haha!) All creatures aim to reproduce in numbers to keep their species going, if a major disaster hamppened then the species would still be able to survive in all likelihood.
It isn't a positive as such towards the environment but it's a positive towards population growth... not that there are many.
Maybe to further it, in the human race surviving, we could rebuild environments?? I'm stretching here...

There's more chance of having geniuses born?

If there should be an event such as the Black Plague, a population growth would help to repopulate the world?

The growing population could be used as slave labor to cut down on use of nonrenewable resources?
