On a world that Scientists have claimed can only support 10 billion...?

Question

And we have over 6 billion now... do you have a theory as to what will happen when the 10 million mark is reached?

Answer 1

We'll have reached a level where the world can support no more, deaths will equal births, and the quality of life will be reduced for all. Not pretty, and it may occur this century. Don't have kids!

Answer 2

Before the Earth ever reaches 10 billion there will be a global thermal nuclear holocaust, particularly in the more populated northern hemisphere. So there really is no need to worry about over population, for the slate will be wiped clean by such an event, catapulting Humankind back to a global economy and technological level equally to the 11th Century.

Answer 3

If good engineering is applied to the problems generated by a large population life could be much better if 30 billion people were living on Earth. More people would have lots of advantages like maybe no cars or traffic because everyone would be using better means to move about. More time for everyone to do what they want to do rather than working to pay bills and driving 100 miles a day to and from work.

Answer 4

Did you see the movie idiocracy? That's a good example. The gene pool will be more and more polluted.....just watch the movie, i'm not explaining it

Answer 5

Economically and socially we will be crippled because as a species, humans are growing more and more incompetent with increasing technology.

Answer 6

People have been saying this for decades. It is just another of the many "Chicken Little" stories.

Answer 7

there is going to be food shortage's, wars all over, rolling blackouts, horrible stuff like that.
