Yes. Population is a serious problem for everyone in the world today. Their are about 6 billion paople in the world today. If that number continues to climb like it has been, this earth will run out of resources for the people who are alive. Their is a limited amount of water on this earth, a limited amount of crop lands abailable on the earth. At some point in time, their will be more people on this earth than the earth is capable of supporting. It has been assumed that this earth can support between 10-12 billion people. We are nearly their. Anouther 50-100 years and we will be at that population. What then? Will their be enought water to drink? Will their be enough food to eat?

NO NO NO and NO
Over population, population boom, whatever one wants to call it is absolute drivel.

Look at the link.
Population density and wealth/food/development are NOT correlated - never has been, never will be.

Yes. Unfortunately, no one is talking about it; in my opinion, because it requires addressing pesky issues like birth control.
Read some of these fact sheets from Population Connection (formerly Zero Population Growth) for how overpopulation is impacting the globe:

Yes it nis, everywhere , and it's only going to get worse. There are people out ther who know they get more benefits per child and don't care.
National/natural resources will run low and some day in the future, everyone will be struggling.
