The Pros And Cons Of Overpopulation

Over population is an issue that plagues people all over the world. American’s specifically are headed towards a population of over 400 people by 2050. High population numbers like these can lead to an abundance of environmental issues. One of these issues specifically is air pollution. Air pollution is primarily the cause of industrialization and releasing toxic fumes into the atmosphere. This causes the ozone levels to rise to unhealthy conditions. If countries like the U.S don’t become active in preventing these environmental issues, overpopulation would just continue to increase them. This would affect American citizens because environmental issues, like air pollution, caused by over population will have a negative effect on the quality of life and the ability to breathe clean air.

Throughout the last few hundred years, humans have built a foundation. Compared to all of the other animal species on Earth, humans are the most intelligent. We have built houses everywhere, developed a system to sustain ourselves, and now inhabit almost every piece of land on earth. Humans are smart, strong, and know how to fend for themselves. But, humans have a tendency to take it too far, and we have already done so. There have been numerous advancements over the past few hundred years which could ultimately lead to the downfall of the human race. The main issue is overpopulation due to the advancements in technology and general knowledge. The statistics from an article by Kenneth Smail show that “In the year 1900, there were almost 2 billion humans living on Earth. Throughout the 1960’s, the baby boom, there were 3 billion humans on Earth. Today in 2016, there are just over 7 billion humans living on Earth.” Currently, we have taken up just over half of all available land on this planet, and with increased amounts of people having kids, our population will only increase. Overpopulation is becoming a serious problem all around the world, especially in countries such as China and India. There are many global problems associated with overpopulation that are becoming more and more prevalent, which will all have dangerous effects on the foundation that humans have

There is no questioned that the United States is overpopulated. We are consuming resources at an unsanctionable rate, with the population increasing, you start to see many difficulties our nation faces surfaces on a day-to-day basis. Whether its contamination, over-consumption, transportation congestion, full institutes, clinics (sickness), exploited social amenities, unemployment (jobs), collapsing structure, inner-cities undeveloped (poverty), and not enough resources. When you have war, corruption, and poverty in many other countries in the West people look for better occupation for themselves and their families. The US is the best country on this earth hands down. Immigrants come here illegally because the process takes too long with good

In Fact, this is not something new to us or we have just come across it for the first time. The most pessimists of the Scientifics have been warning us many decades’ now. Today, as a concerned scholar, I write these words with the certitude and conviction that knowledge together with technology, if applied with wisdom, might allow for a good comely Anthropocene. A good transition into the Anthropocene is illustrated in in making people’s lives better, cushioning the impact our activities in order to stabilize the climate, and protecting the natural world. The pursuance of a good Anthropocene, which is absolutely achieved in our lifetime, will strain Humanity to use its growing technological, economical, as well as social powers to contribute to the betterment of the people’s lives, stabilize the climate, and protect the natural

Not all heroes wear a cape nor’ have a super power to fight off evil. Ordinary populations are more than capable to save the small corrupt ways of the world.

Australia’s population is currently 23.8 million. In 1960 it was 10 million. What should it be in 2050?

The world is a very huge place with a population of more than 7 billion people and always growing. Australian population growth is already leading to a range of pressure. Australia is one of most urbanized countries in the world and significant population growth is already leading to a range of pressure in many cities (Maclntosh, Sarker & Boyd, 2010). A recent report commissioned by Griffith University's urban research program suggests that South East Queensland is receiving an additional 1500 residents each week and is expected to add another 1 million by 2026. Proponents of population growth believe that population growth is positive to a country. A growing population can bring economic benefits (Hartwich & Brown, 2012). Opponent of population growth convinced that population growth is negative to a country. Population growth is creating problems with traffic condition, water, waste disposal and health care (Sobles, 2013). This essay will argue that high population growth will make negative effects to a country because of environmental problems, infrastructure for human wants and needs and ageing population.

“When we have peace, then we have a chance to save the planet. But if we are not united in peace, if we do not practice mindful consumption, we cannot save our planet.”(Thich Nhat Hanh) We as the human race have entered a new age of the Earth: the Anthropocene, a term that became popular in the early 2000s. It means “ Man New”, because of the new world we have created and the amount of extinctions, pollution and alterations in the world’s functions that has come from our expansion. Due to the large amount of waste a small portion of the world produces, it affects the whole world in terrifying ways. People that argue that overpopulation is the largest issue have to understand that it is not the majority of the world that creates so much waste

Have you ever wondered what the answer to world problems is? World population control is one option, but it is not a good one. Some say that it would help improve life, and would help bring balance to the world. However, I believe that population control would not truly help anyone. World population control is not the answer to world problems, for it would take away human life, the right to have kids, and in the long run would not help any living thing.

Imagine this, a dystopian society where the ground, everywhere, is black with asphalt, because all the forests have been cut down and houses cover the area. Inevitably, all animals have become extinct because their homes have been destroyed and the demanding population has consumed all natural resources. The only thing in abundance, mankind. The crowded streets swarming with people every second of the day and the overpopulated world itself seem like frivolous problems now, however, it is the unrivaled cause of everything. This problem must be solved, and the only way to do so, is for the government to enact new laws and regulations.

The future of our planet has been a great concern for the global community for many years. In their article ‘Can a Collapse of Global Civilisation be Avoided?’ Paul and Anne Ehrlich explore the current ecological and socio-cultural trends that they believe, if left untreated, will lead to the inevitable collapse. Unlike past civilizations, the modern global community has the knowledge, skills and technologies to solve the several pressing issues Ehrlich presents in this article. So what are those issues?

During the earth’s 4.5 billion years, it has not been recorded for one species to alter the planet so radically as humans. The Anthropogenic era brings much anticipation and wonder on how far mankind will continue to change the planet and face the upcoming issues such as climate change that humanity will endure in the future.

The world is frequently changing. With an increase in technology, and populations there is a need for more resources. The competition of resources could potentially deplete the natural resources over time unless it is continually restored. This has however, become a pretty arduous task with factors such as global warming coming into play. Global warming has especially played a pretty crucial role in the rising of sea levels and even the extreme temperature changes. Over time, these changes could presumably get worse affecting the populations they entail.

This paper explores the economic, environmental, demographical, and political cons of the human race’ future on another planet. NASA has come to the conclusion that in a few billion years, Earth will cease its existence and the human race will need to find another plant to live on. Although humans will need an alternative habitat to Earth, there are many disadvantages of relocating to the planet Mars. Due to the vast amount of money that is required for going on space missions, countries could potentially end up in debt with other countries. This can also cause an influx in the economy. The change in the environment may not be beneficial to human’s survival. With this, a collection of these influences can really hurt the human population by

Have you ever wondered what earth would be like in the near future with over 10 billion people from 7 billion? A newspaper source from Population Peril states that there are 210,000 new people everyday and by 2050 that there will be roughly 9.6 billion people (McClatchy). How are we going to prevent the disastrous measure of pollution, diseases, extinction of resources, more poverty, people and etc.? As the world’s overpopulation problem should be changed to prevent future severe issues.
