What is the maximum amount of people that the earth can hold?

Question

There are 6.6 Billion people on the earth and that is increasing by about 250,000 people a day. How many people can the earth feed, and how many can it hold comfortably.

Answer 1

Well it is true their are 6.6 billion people, and 250,000 increasing by the day,on the contrary 249,900 used to die every day. Since Bush invaded Iraq, and Afghanistan, that number has gone up to 252,000. The Earth cannot technically feed more than 4 Billion, that is why 2.6 Billion starve. Also the Earth cannot inhabit more than 7 billion, or we would all melt do to global warming. That explains the extreme weather. You have a population boom in certain rural areas, where now your building more concrete buildings(Malls,Apartments etc..) and that traps heat.

Answer 2

There are already too many for this planet to hold comfortablly. But the max will keep going up with future technology. The number could go to 50 billion or more

Answer 3

That would be called Carrying Capacity. The amount of organisms that can be sustained on a certain amount of resources. Ah not sure.

Answer 4

The earth isn't elevator. I don't think there is a weight limit.

Answer 5

I'd say easily 20 billion
It's all in the management

Answer 6

By the way things are going, I'd say were pretty much maxed out as it is.

Answer 7

Just 13 more and were all screwed.

Answer 8

I hope I never find out

Answer 9

I believe it can hold a whole lot more if done properly.

Answer 10

i'd say 50 billion
