    You Decide

    Most people think that the world faces an overpopulation problem. But Phillip Longman argues otherwise in his book The Empty Cradle. He warns instead of a global baby bust. World population growth has fallen 40 percent since the late 1960s. The human population is expected to peak at nine billion by 2070, and many countries will see their population shrink long before that. Japan will have 49 retirees per 100 workers as early as 2005.…

    The Global Population Conundrum

    India is projected to have a population increase of another half billion by the year 2050, but Brown thinks otherwise. Doubting that there will be an increase of a half billion, Brown says the questions isn’t ‘whether it will happen or not’ but rather whether it will NOT happen because of a shift to smaller families or, a rise in food shortages and malnutrition. This is a believable prediction because we are already witnessing a similar situation in Africa, where death rates are steadily increasing due to a lack of control on the HIV epidemic. Africa’s once predicted population growth is extremely unlikely, but Brown says it is for the wrong reason: rising death rates instead of falling birthrates. Epidemics are just one of the many factors considered in population growth trends. Another is that the 6 billion people here today have already over-consumed the Earths natural capital, so forests are shrinking along with fisheries and other things. This over-consumption only inflates the economic output in our bubble like economy, and if we can’t stop this over-consumption the bubble will burst.…

    Space Exploration Should Be Abolished

    The world population is the total number of living humans on Earth at a given time. As of 21 January 2010, the Earth's population is estimated by the United States Census Bureau to be 6 797 700 000. The world population has been growing continuously since the end of the Black Death around 1400. The fastest rates of world population growth were seen quickly during the 1950s then for a longer period during the 1960s and 1970s (see graph). World births have levelled off at about 134 million per year, since their peak at 163 million in the late 1990s, and are expected to remain constant. However, deaths are only around 57 million per year. Because births outnumber deaths, the world's population is expected to reach 9 billion in 2040.…
