Is the world being over crowded?

Answer 1

a silly question only ignorant children bother to ask. 50 million square miles of land. lets only develop 20% for living area. the other 80% can remain undeveloped for wildlife and farms. 10 million square miles equals 6.4 billion acres. the average AMERICAN home lot is 7000 square feet. 6 lots to an acre. so now we have room for 40 billion homes, average of four people per home, 160 billion people, and that is on TWENTY PERCENT of the worlds land

Answer 2

The current world population is 6.5 billion in 40 years that will rise to almost 10 billion at least. At this point we get to the stage where we can project an exponential rise in population growth. Lack of food, shelter, health care and so on will create the perfect conditions for collapse of civilisation, complete with famine, plague, war, lack of natural resources and all that goes with it. the human race is a victim of it's own success. The time to act is now before it is too late!! Have we learned nothing from the last 250 years, polluting the oceans, poisoning the land, making the air almost unbreathable in our cities. Overfishing, man made deserts, lowering the water table all over the globe, building on greenbelt land. That is just for starters. Add some more and see how long you are at it.

Answer 3

No its a Myth several countries are facing low birth crisis

According to Max Singer, writing in The Atlantic Monthly of August 1999, "Unless people's values change greatly, several centuries from now there could be fewer people living in the entire world than live in the United States today." How does he come to this startling and unorthodox view? Simply because no demographer predicted that when fertility dropped to replacement level - which is 2.1 child per woman per lifetime - it would keep falling. But it has. In Western Europe, Japan and the East Asian tiger economies, the total fertility rate (TFR) is 1.5. and falling. Italy's has fallen to a national suicidal 1.2. North African immigrants look like inheriting Italy.

Answer 4

that is kind of a trick question...if you look at china or india it would be easy to say yes...however look at how big canada is and know that it is bigger than the u.s.in area, yet has only 10% of the population that the u.s. does....not to mention that 80 percent of its 30 million people live in the three major cities... there are thousands of miles of uninhabited land both in the us. and canada...it is a disbursement thing....i would be interested to see what kind of crowding there would be if every body was evenly distributed over the planet...i read somewhere once that if that was done (people evenly distributed) that each person would have a square kilometer to themselves....mind you some of them would be in the arctic and antarctic regions!!!

Answer 5

No. There's lots of room left. Some years ago, some said that 5 billion was our maximum population.

Now we have 7 billion, and they could all be fed, if there was not so much corruption and wars, to prevent the food from getting to the starving.

Answer 6

Yes We have spread across this planet like a virus. All diseases , viruses, and any other thing that effects the body are the planets way to rid itself of the plague which is man.

Answer 7

No, everybody in the world can fit in the state of Texas.

Answer 8

there are far too many people than our natural resources will allow... and, in addition, were not exactly using them properly or being the nicest to each other in this time of need...

Answer 9

No, not crowded, centralized.

Answer 10

Only in certain sections!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i.e. India, a large part of China, and the east coast of the USA.
