increasing world population.?

Question

as the world population increases will the earth be able to sustain the burden of such large population?

Answer 1

Already we r too many. Till the concept for one family to have 3 or more children isn't change soon we can live any longer on this planet. Already more and more food products are artificial.
This is not a problem of choice and GOD and whatever this is common sense. Till the year 2100 the population on the planet will be, 9 billion.
For one family to have 3,4,5,10 children put pressure on the family's who don't have none to have none. Hey but who cares ?! Maybe we should make one child per family and give him everything than 6 children and all juvenile delinquents.

This is a communist thinking .... to have as many children you can do.

Answer 2

We already have a problem with 7 billion people on the planet. Some estimate that the world could support 50 billion people, but everyone would have to do with a lot less. Did you know that Americans eat five times as much as the average African? And look at us. (Just take a stroll through Wal-mart and look at all the fat people with their carts full of junk food.) We all really should be ashamed of ourselves. There are currently enough resources to go around if people are willing to share. It's no wonder the rest of the world hates Americans. At one time we were considered the promised land and a model of democracy for the rest of the world. Now all they see are rich fat warmongers. We need to change that.

Answer 3

There is enough food for the projected world population to 2030. There is also a trend toward a reduction of birth.

However, there will always be starvation in some areas and under- nourished people, especially children due to greed, which will take the food to the highest bidders, who b.t.w. are also generating the biggest waste of food.

Even "developed" countries will have starving people, as thet do right now, NOT because there is not enough food but rather because THEY can't afford it.

It's the capitalist "gospel" of survival of the fittest.

Answer 4

Most likely yes. The historical record is that productivity and average incomes rise at a rate faster than population growth.
Also, while the earth's population is rising, the birth rate is falling so if present trends continue there will be a decrease in the population by 2030 or so.

Answer 5

Up to a certain point it can, but when viable land for planting crops runs out, game over...

As it is right now, there is enough food produced in the world to feed everyone. But the problem is one of corrupt government officials who want to use the food distribution systems as leverage for their own agendas. The problem isn't one of growing the food, its one o f getting the food to where it needs to be.

Answer 6

Yes, and no.
On one side, there will certainly be people who die due to overpopulation, but as this happens, the aristocracy will be shocked into action, and technological advances will seek to prevent more starvation. Since the human race adapts so quickly, we will find a way to have enough resources to continue to expand.

Answer 7

yes, there will just be more cases of famine and infection as populations increase to a level of toxicity for the areas.

Answer 8

I personally think there should be a limit of two children per family, after the second child get the person fixed so they can't have any more children.

Answer 9

only if we all get to gether and work towards world peace, There is more than enough for every one but the division right now is to be in power. No one cares about mankind they only care about how much they can accumulate for themselves

Answer 10

Eventually...no. Unfortunately the over-breeding is being done by stupid people. So it's pretty much hopeless.
