Our planet is maxed with people. I don't know how many years it will take to double our population to even more.

With a double increase of population, what will be one major concern?

Of course, man or nature could wipe out a large portion of people.


Me... Food will be a big concern

Water and the economy.

Lines in the grocery stores. Go back to Mexico!

The US would have a steady or declining population without immigration.

Sustainable development of which population control is a part of the solution is the greatest challenge mankind has ever faced.

the environment.

The topic's about global overpopulation. Not just the US.

Space for people to live.....

nature has a way of taking care of the population problem. disease, famine, natural disasters.

Competition for resources would be a large concern. In addition, this would affect local areas (and poorer regions). I believe limiting our use of natural supplies would offset the negative effects of a larger population.

Maybe nature will just sit by and watch us destroy ourselves. We are over populated now and nature is not slowing it down much.

This is pretty much my view of it, although eventually nature will find a way to take the matter into its own hands.

Indeed. I don't think many understand how devastating a declining population can be to today's economies.

Legal??...or illegal??

I personally believe that there will be another world war within the next decade. However much s**t it would cause it would (I believe) in some ways help society, 1st by helping the overpopulation, and secondly by changing the way people look at their life.

my concern is how much of the worlds population will live in Poverty and be susceptible to deadly diseases

Hmmm is there a death clock too?

Actually, hasn't the population growth rate leveled off?

I remember reading in a book that the problem is not people breeding like rabbits, but people no longer dropping like flies.

I think I heard somewhere before that the entire world's population can live in the state of Texas. It would be as dense as New York City.
