Population growth is another negative factor linked to the disruption of natural selection from medical advancements that causes problems both socially and environmentally. Overpopulation happens when there are too many people and not enough resources. The key to solving overpopulation is to find and retain the perfect size for the population before it is too late and all the natural resources are consumed or ruined. The world population is rapidly increasing… “[w]ith over 7 billion people living…

14 The largest health impact from global warming worldwide would occur from vector-borne infectious diseases because arthropod vectors are cold-blooded and thus, are very sensitive to climatic factors.4,14 Therefore, vectors and pathogens are predominantly affected by high temperature, as weather affects their survival and reproduction rates, habitat suitability, and abundance.7,14 Consequently, global warming has a direct impact on the size of the vector population. Malaria, dengue, plague, schistosomiasis…

Planet We need a major reduction in human population, stat! Ok, maybe that’s not a viable solution, but it does beg the question; “How many people does it take to break the world?” Currently, there are a little over 7 billion people on the planet and there is already some cause for concern. Overpopulation, extreme weather, and a drought that’s causing a water shortage. Is the abundance of humans the cause or is it simply happening because it can? Overpopulation can cause many issues for the inhabitants…

With rapid population growth and urbanization escalating, overcrowding has concerned many scientists, researchers, and the human populace as a whole. Overpopulation, the condition where an area holds more people than in which the area can properly function, is a serious issue which has many adverse effects on the well-being of a healthy human population. A growing seven billion people live on Earth and factors such as pollution, and human well being may all be affected by overpopulation, and continued…

Naturally, as our population grows in size our growth rate increases exponentially. As a result, we face the issue of overpopulation, one of the many dangerous trends discussed in Anthony Barnosky and Elizabeth Hadly’s Tipping Point for Planet Earth. Currently, if we do not make any changes, it is expected that we will reach a population size over twenty-seven billion people by the year 2100. Along with this massive increase in population size, we will also face a rise in food and water shortages…

Can you believe that the global population has been grown up to 3.7 billion in the past 50 years (Baldini, 2015). It still increases at an extremely high rate, and will reach 90 billion in the year 2050. The population is not the only issue which has been increasing rapidly, some negative effects also have increased. In this research paper, I will discuss two major negative effects on the environment that have occurred due to the great number of human population which includes the changing of natural…

Many people believe that today the world 's population is already too large for everyone to live comfortably. Let us brainstorm for a while. According to the UN, we are living in the era of the most intense growth of urbanization. Right now, when the level of urbanization is quite high, the remains of the rural population of the planet dramatically swept into the city. Everyone knows that the urban life style helps to reduce the birth rate to a subthreshold level. This means that neither sharp jump…

past 100 years, the population of the world has gone from about 2 million people to just over 7 million people. With this drastic change in population in such a short period of time compared to the total age of the earth, problems are no doubtable going to arise. From the demand of the ever rising human population on the earth, food accessibility, depletion of natural resources, and an increase in global warming affects all have detrimental consequences on our human population and our own earth that…

“I would be absolutely astounded if population growth and industrialization and all the stuff we are pumping into the atmosphere hadn't changed the climatic balance. Of course it has. There is no valid argument for denial.” -David Attenborough There has been a growing trend established with the growing population seen in hunger, warfare, and pollution: they are all rising. It is expected that earth’s population will rise to nine billion by 2050, and to ten billion by 2100. It can only be assumed…

greenhouse gas admission are evident through the rising global temperatures, causing extreme natural disasters and expanding sea levels. Anthropogenic climate change refers to the production of greenhouse gases emitted into the earth’s atmosphere as a result of human expansion and activity. According to research conducted by The National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Goddard Institute for Space Studies (NASA, 2016) the average global temperature of the Earth has risen 0.87 degrees Celsius…
