science and technology is the biggest reason in increasement
of population
ARE the biggest reasons 🙂
BE da biggest reasons
the reason why not a lot of people die a year is because we are on the top of the food chain.
Actually Niks is not wrong if he meant to use ‘science and technology’ as one entity. You don’t say, “hide and go seek” are a fun game just because there is an ‘and.’
Actually… Hide and go seek is a singular entity only because it refers to a game. Science and technology are not, in this context, referring to a single entity. Good try though 🙂
But that’s not a recognized pairing. I didn’t go to “science and technology” class. It also is linguistically ugly. You don’t get to decide that two individual concepts are now a singular entity just to account for grammatical errors.
not even, why would science and technology have to do anything with birth rates
Vaccinations, medicine, water treatment, waste sanitation, ability to order anything you want online from anywhere in the world and have it delivered within a couple weeks (including vaccinations, medicine, water filters, etc.).
I agree, EVERYBODY IS WRONG. Population graphs and statistics show that first world populations have stayed the same since around 1800, but in the third world, theyre multiplying like rabbits.
Its the other way around, better medicine and technology makes populations grow slower
its not necessarily more births bro, its less deaths. Less people are dying, and so there are more people even with the status quo for birth ratrs
Not true though. Humans lived to an average of about 30-40 years before modern medicine came around. Also, it used to be that your life span was closely related to the health of your teeth. Once you lost them you were pretty much screwed. In today’s age you are right though. The largest population growth comes from third world countries but even if you just look at first world populations they are still growing like crazy. Its all because we pretty much doubled our life expectancy in the last 200-400 years. Also, some religions prohibit contraception which doesn’t help either
Nope, the population explosion we’ve had in the last century is solely because of advancements in medicine and technology. You cannot prove me wrong. Please, do not spread this misinformation when you have no idea what you’re talking about.
Every form of artificial conception, like IVF, surrogacy, sperm donation, etc. is science and technology contributing to the overpopulation problem.
Excuse me… Can u explain this point? I’m not clear.
See above.
That doesn’t even make sense. Because of science, women are now able to have abortions when they doesn’t exist back then. We’d have way more humans if science didn’t exist.
Youre correct 😀 Its POOR COUNTRY populations that are skyrocketing quickly, but in the first world (europe, australia, usa etc) its growing steadily so that we can catch up.
Due to medicine death rates are going down and healthy birth rates are going up hence the increase in population, life expectancy increased by around 28 years for the average adult male in the last 100 years
No, its not. The population in the first world has stayed the same for a few hundred years, but in poorer regions its SKYROCKETING, to the point theyre making things worse for themselves (heard of the saying ‘the rich get richer while the poor get poorer’? Its very true). Thats not to say theyre bad people, its just unfortunate; they deserve to be alive but theyre having too much sex for their own good.
Ah sorry but your wrong. Actually, the rich getting richer is not true. Same thing with the poor getting poorer. Basic Economics states that every mutual trade brings net benefits to both parties in the exchange. So actually everybody moves up in living standards as economies grow. Second of all, In the US and other countries, the data says that people actually shift (every few years or so on average) up and down the percentage scale in earnings. So in the end, both rich and poor get richer by hard work and creating opportunities for themselves only, not due to a myth that accumulated wealth automatically guarantees more wealth.
I must agree and anyone with intelligence would. The poor usually have multiple kids and collect. The smarter people wait to have a child or two. Not 4 or 6 and collect. It’s the welfare recipients and the third world countries with multiple children when they can’t even feed themselves
Haha, you think that 3rd world countries have welfare… how cute. You have it backwards though. Its simple math. We have doubled our life expectancy in the last hundred years(from about 30 years to 60+). If you look at just first world countries, the population is growing too because people live that much longer.
If technology(man made tools) weren’t commonly used natural selection would play a part on our population. The fact that humans have developed beautifully adaptive brains gives us the ability to build tools live long and comfortable and procreate longer. So our awareness of science (the fundamental behavior of the universe) allows us to shape our world with technology directly affecting our population
What??? It’s call life!! And a creator called God gave and take the life!!
This is where social cleansing starts.
Cameron is ‘concerned’ about the efficacy of antibiotics !
World population is increasing at the rate of 1,000,000 every 5 days !
Get a grip David!
That’s an increase of 73,000,000 this year alone, If we don’t find a way of reversing this trend we are all screwed!
At times like this we need a major conflict/disaster to reduce the numbers…….Please forward your suggestions in this respect to:- ‘[email protected]’
Aliens please come to cleanse this planet from all evil.
yes!
They need to do something with population control.
Comprehensive sex education and easier distribution of contraceptives has done a lot.
Just realised it’s been 10 months since this posts = 110Mill more babies on this Earth…since. WoW that is a lot.
Population is increasing nearly exponentially whereas global ability (including political & logistical factors) to provide potable water, sanitary food, waste mgmt, etc., increases much closer to linearly. Wars – large & small – hardly affect these numbers at all. Even a pandemic (unless ‘catastrophic’) would have trouble affecting the stats long term. The planet currently produces enough food to feed approximately 11 billion. However, much of that ‘excess’ production goes into feeding livestock for meat. I’m not vegetarian or vegan. The other substance humanity cannot do without – fresh water – is used to grow ornamental (not cereal) grass, more so than used by botanical agriculture (at least in the US). Yet > 1 billion people do not obtain the minimum Caloric intake in the proper proportions (proteins, fats, & carbohydrates) to maintain a healthy existence. In a nutshell, we’re up the creek & lost the paddle long ago.
Population does not grow exponentially because people actually die, so it’s more linear
That’s what my good friend Ed keeps telling me.
Don’t be fooled by these estimates. This is the only reason why they will justify war
diseases, killer vaccines, homosexuality, poverty, untold civil unrest around the world.
Read depopulation strategy and see if you stand the chance of survival “in order to stabilize world population
we must eliminate 350,000 people per day…..J. Cousteau, Explorer and UNESCO Courier
Es super este program
Wow that is not good.
It is perfectly fine.
sound
Doubling population, half the space, jobs decreased, food more expensive, where will we be in heaven? How many people over there?
If there are 7 billion people and the average life expectancy is 67, then more than 100 million people must die each year. The statistics don’t add up.
It’s a moving average. As we get older, our life expectancy will keep increasing.
its kind of scary we will die out because of the next generation
this doesnt make sense if we live to 67 then there should be less of us but people live to 98 or even more
dont write stupid things on here
i think everyone of you are right but there is one thing i will live to be 100!!!!!
no one know that
You COULD be hit by a bus tomorrow. It’s not likely, but it happens to SOMEONE almost every day. In addition to wars, random violence, car accidents, disease, or one of any number of other factors, any person could die at any time. It’s only the lucky ones who get to live good lives for as long as they want.
I wonder why there is no rule/campaign implemented for the maximum no. of children a family should have, before it’s too late…
They tried that in China. No one liked it, and imagine if Americans were told to have a limit.
It’s working in China though. Their population has slowed down a significant amount, and their ecological footprint has decreased. Yes, they still have a billion more people than we do in the United States, but they would have a lot more if it weren’t for the one child policy.
Because that would be a law the government neither has the right to make nor assets to enforce. It is foolish and inconsiderate to enforce your ideas upon others with even showing ample evidence.
The World populations goes up by 78.4 million per year and 208,000 per day ( Estamation by the United Nations).
please the united nations has determined by their agenda 21 population control policy, to reduce world population by 2 billion people. Through increased abortions in poor areas, war and reduction of proper health care for the elderly and through spread of global disease and starvation, while appearing to act concerned. Last meeting they stated they were making good progress but can do better. The horsemen of the apocalypse are riding. Satan has deceived the world and it is following him to the end. Through religion and self righteousness Satan has deceived them all. Our relationship with our Father Yahweh through Yahsuah the Son of Yahweh, He says just come home to Him He loves us UNCONDITIONAL, waiting to forgive all and His only command to us is to Love One Another as He has loved us even to the death. This is for all people, please this is underway and does not have to end the way its headed
Tinfoil hat time.
The UN is doing no such thing, and I’m surprised you think that they would be competent enough to pull off something that organized.
Abortions have decreased, generally, over the last 40 years (globally), despite legalization, due to better education, better quality of life, and better healthcare. There are organizations to distribute food and teach people how to farm. World literacy and education is at its highest level ever, and will continue to creep upward, despite the doom-and-gloom prophecy crowd.
It sounds like you would rather blow up the world, than have it live on without holding your point of view. That is a dangerous idea.
Prepare yourself for the second long lasting life..examination is going to finish soon there’s result ahead waiting for you …
ALLAH AKHBAR
No.1 challenge to world peace, sustainability, environment, crime control, human trafficking comes from higher birth rate in 3rd world people. Without adopting 1 child policy in 3rd world for 30 years the dream of a peaceful world and sustainable earth planet cannot be achieved. Let us be focused and develop consensus.
we are all fated to die my brothers and sisters
4 come and 2 go every second !!!!
Global destruction is near we talk about oil ,food,water,becomes a shortage and wonder what to do. I believe their is only. One solution we have to put control on population. Less birth than more death
What im try to is let death take its toll but make tougher laws for families limit the children to have
So birth and death to equal out the same
DAMNIT I WAT THINGS TO BE RIGHT :L
To people who say birth control in the answer:
China tried limiting births per family to one for most people. It hasn’t been seen as a good thing to most people. Could you see more democratic civilizations standing for it?
For Mordor! Hail Lord Sauron, the lord of Middle Earth and demon king of the Maians
Its amazing the amount of people that are aware and passionate about overpopulation; yet simultaneously have done such little reading up on the actual causes and proposed solutions. People seem to just look for the answer that is most convenient or easy for them to accept as true.This is a complex issue with a huge amount of variables; that’s why its worth investing some time for actual research if you want to understand it. We are exponentially approaching the planets capacity; and our children will be answering the door when the fire marshal shows up.
good thing for the gays!
Hello!So,interesting & i’ve been entertain w/ it.How do they count all of the numbers of population in the world.AMAZING!!!!……
Surat At-Takāthur in Quran
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
أَلْهَاكُمُ التَّكَاثُرُ
حَتَّى زُرْتُمُ الْمَقَابِرَ
كَلاَّ سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ
ثُمَّ كَلاَّ سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ
كَلاَّ لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عِلْمَ الْيَقِينِ
لَتَرَوُنَّ الْجَحِيمَ
ثُمَّ لَتَرَوُنَّهَا عَيْنَ الْيَقِينِ
ثُمَّ لَتُسْأَلُنَّ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَنِ النَّعِيمِ
How many people died this year please tell me
hi I think that the population is to and we need rules on it. we are growing faster than we can support and soon we might not be able to keep up for good.
We need another World War the human species is breeding to quickly and not enough of us are dying and not to mention the resources are drying up extremely fast new things have to be introduced very soon if not we are looking at a global calamity.
Actually World Wars cause the population to increase because people are encouraged to have more children to make up for the people lost in the war, which doesn’t really make sense because they always end up having more children than they lose.
How many are born per average life time?
Unfortunately, the cry babies & do gooders of this country helping the 3rd world countries will make this PLANET overcrowded. Think, world population doubled over last 40 yrs. That puts us at 227 Billion 200 years from now.
MISSING PERSON WE ARE NOT COUNT IN DEATH LIST. BUT THE SUSPICIOUS PROXY ALWAYS COUNTED BY PEOPLE. BECAUSE OUR WORLD IS HACKED. PEOPLE IS PUPPET.
Absolutely, we must make World Leaders regulate population, might seem cruel but it makes so much sense or our world will be ruined for all. U.K. Government should only pay child benefits for first two children and even then much more for the first child as all equipment for baby has to be bought at this time.
men
Ignorance and stupidity have always been our arch-enemies and always will be.Not being aware of the reason for our existence is the cause for the many problems we have created for ourself. A good Gardener never “over-populates” his Garden and weeding is done regularly…
Does anyone actually know any basic math? I won’t even post it here at the risk of facts being called foolish…get your calculator (or Google) and find out what the square mileage is for the state of Texas. Go ahead, I will wait. Got it? ok- now you tell me overpopulation is a myth when the entire world population can fit easily into half of Texas with each person having their OWN square mile to stand in. As far as resources- another fun one. Do you know why so much of India is starving? Bc they belive cows are sacred. Yup- while bunch of burgers walking around eating precious grain while people starve. Come on people- don’t take their blue pills anymore…take the red pill!!
What the eff are you on, are you saying that is Texas 14 billion square miles in size?
Intelligent and learned people don’t have big families.The answer is simple, they are “smart”
You are foolish and naive, why would someone who wants to live a happy life want to have no or few children to love and take care of them.
What I have trouble understanding is why cemeteries haven’t grown to absurd sizes (a long time ago) considering the gigantic number of deaths that has occurred- all in all. And constantly keeps occurring. Every day in any given town. You’d think every square meter of the planet would be a gravesite by now… Yet that’s nowhere near the case.. Am I underestimating the size of the Earth or am I missing something else…?
WE NEED MORE GAY PEOPLE!
THE RECENT INCREASE IN DEATH RATE FOR THE LAST 5 TO 6 YEARS IS SPACE MUTINY
I woke up this morning breathing and I sure hope I wake up tomorrow morning breathing. Makes life so much easier if you are breathing.
What is the reason to increase tha population……. Population valara enna karanam…..?????
The increased population is endangering the present world.
I’m going all Parasyte on this hizzouse, but if people were aloud to kill each other (theoretically) our population wouldn’t be so bloated and the Earth would be a “better” place.
everybody dies in this world.
so much death
ok thats some 76 Million more people to fit,eat, & drive(lol) on this planet every 365!! Let’s calm it down, put on that jimmy. Man…. them there numbers are crazy~
Population increase isn’t such a problem…Most of Alaska and many desert areas in the world are barren. Maybe we could transport families onto submarines. Or we could make floating houses and take over the sky.. though I love nature and would hate to see it all disappear.
We need births to be less than deaths
WOW… that’s a lot of people ._.
a lot of babies…
no wonder global warming is here. pollution and what not
we are in great danger
You think it’s an accident? Technology? Hysterical. This is their plan. It always was. Time will repeat itself. Now you know why and how. Can you guess when the rest will occur? 🙂
Love is a powerful idea. Look how they’ve tamed us as their obedient citizens at war with ourselves.
