Interesting! I wonder how the population got so large at this specific time because I thought the population stayed at a constant rate of around 6 billion.
Some nice facts about human population are that death rate plummeted after the industrial revolution. The industrial revolution was a time when many inventions were made, making it so that much less lives were at stake. Also the green revolution was a helpful part of our population. The green revolution was a time when crops flourished, this was because of inventions that killed pests and weeds without harming plants.
As the human population grows more resources will be needed, of course the faster we use up these resources the harder it will be to grow them and from there that may lead to world wide hunger for a period of time because we ran out of resources.
Human overpopulation occurs if the number of people in a group exceeds the carrying capacity of a region occupied by that group. Overpopulation can further be viewed, in a long term perspective, as existing when a population can't be maintained without the rapid depletion of non-renewable resources or without the degradation of the capacity of the environment to give support to the population.
It damages the Earth in many ways such as polluting the air, water,and soil. And we have been polluting the Earth a ton since the industrial revolution.
World population grew to 7.06 billion in mid-2012.

DeleteWith more people on Earth, the more resources we use.
ReplyDeleteIf we continue to use resources, we will need the equivalent of 5 Earths to produce resources for us.
