Humans: Population Growth

So…in 50-100 years from now, what do you think life will be like given that our population growth has been growing exponentially for the past 2000 years?

Re: Humans: Population Growth

I am sure another tsunami, earthquake, natural disasters etc. will keep over population in check. otherwise Indians are planning to colonize moon so they'll probably have some inami-scheme going on.

Re: Humans: Population Growth

So the tsunami served the purpose of saving us from hitting our carrying capacity...

There IS a God!

Re: Humans: Population Growth

There have been other disasters in the past that have wiped out civilisations. Bible Quran they all talk about it (historical perspective).

Re: Humans: Population Growth

human population has neither grown exponentially nor only in the last 2000 years. How the heck did you come up with that?

Re: Humans: Population Growth

The population of world after 50-100 years will depend on how much rubber indians and chinese are gonna use:p

Re: Humans: Population Growth

that is it, PCG, please dont have any kids. You dont want the planet to explode. :slight_smile:

Re: Humans: Population Growth

Atlantis, you are correct. I looked into it a bit more, and it turns out we've been going steady for the past 40 years.

However 2000 years prior to that - it has been exponential growth. They say we're hitting our carrying capacity now.

I guess more natural disasters and maybe some epidemics coming up to keep the levels stable?

Re: Humans: Population Growth

I dont know about other resources but we will certainly run out of our major energy source - Oil, if we continue to use it at this rate.

Re: Humans: Population Growth

we need to get rid of pigs. they procreate like crazy and are such chauvinists :p

Re: Humans: Population Growth

Stop using the oil. I say stop it already.
