The global human population has surpassed 7 billion, far exceeding our population’s size throughout our history on Earth. Name some specific means by which we have apparently raised Earth’s carrying capacity for our species. Do you think we can continue to raise our carrying capacity? How might we do so? What limiting factors exist for the human population today? Might Earth’s future carrying capacity for us decrease? Why or why not?
