The real danger is too few people, not too many!

Can anyone check if the Slovenians are okay?

The human population is likely to continue to grow for some time, regardless of any possible efforts to decrease it. This future is down to a phenomenon known as "demographic momentum", in which a young population with a fertility rate below replacement level will continue to grow, as long as the death rate and migration levels remain the same. This is because population change isn't just about birth rates – the structure of a population also has an impact, particularly the total number of women at childbearing age.

Heat pollution and Earthquakes - Why the world needs to have broader conversations about climate change

According to NASA website, “Global warming is the long-term heating of Earth’s surface observed since the pre-industrial period (between 1850 and 1900) due to human activities, primarily fossil fuel burning, which increases heat-trapping greenhouse gas levels in Earth’s atmosphere.” NASA’s definition of global warming is misleading for a very specific reason. It is placing the primary…

The largest population replacement of the last 13,000 years has been the one resulting from the recent collision been Old World and New World societies.

The global warming trend comes as the human population exploded in recent centuries and technological advances spewed enormous amounts of chemicals and gases into the atmosphere. Some of them, called greenhouse gases, are excellent at trapping heat.

India to be most populous country in 2023

Umashree Roy : China was the most populous country in the world. That figure will change in 2023. India will emerge as the most populous country in the world. India's emergence as the world's most populous country will face more challenges. Unemployment rate is high in India. As the population grows, the unemployment rate will begin to rise. Experts believe that water and food security will be disrupted. Also, experts believe that with the increase in population in India, multiple problems will emerge.

Division will increase :

As India's population grows, the divide will become more pronounced. Experts are afraid of division on the basis of religion. Besides, the division in India may increase due to geographical reasons. The division between North India and South India is expected to become more pronounced. India's current population is four times that of America, about 20 times that of Britain. 85,000 babies are born in India every day. On the other hand, 49,400 babies are born every day in China. It is only a matter of time before India becomes the most populous country in the world.

Drinking water and food crisis :

As India's population grows, there may be shortages of drinking water and food. Even if the population increases, the amount of groundwater will not increase. As a result, drinking water can be strained. Experts fear that there may be a food crisis. Chennai ran out of groundwater in 2019. Widespread scarcity of drinking water was observed across Chennai. Another major challenge that will emerge as the population grows is the lack of housing. As a result, forest areas will remain empty. The natural balance will be affected.

Impact of one child policy :

China adopted the one child policy. As a result, the number of Chinese has come under control. But a new problem has arisen. China is gradually becoming a country of the elderly. According to a statistic, about 70 percent of China's senior citizens. Recently it has been reported by China that the marriage rate has started to decrease in China. On the other hand, child birth rate is also very low due to one child policy. Currently, the number of young generation in China is very low. The Chinese government is planning to give up the one child policy to deal with the situation. Similar problems can be seen in case of India adopting one child policy.

World population growth rate :

According to statistics, there are eight countries behind the world's population growth. Congo, Egypt, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Pakistan, Philippines, Tanzania and India. According to a United Nations statistic, the world population in 1927 was 2 billion. 33 years later in 1960, the world's population increased to 3 billion. In other words, it takes 33 years for the number of people in the world to grow to one billion. But it takes only 14 years for the next billion population to grow. That is, in 1974 the world population was 4 billion. 13 years later in 1987 the world's population increased to 5 billion. 12 years later, in 1999, the world's population increased by one billion to 6 billion. In 2011, the world population was 7 billion. In 2023, the total world population will be 8 billion. 9 billion in 2037. In 2055 world population will be 10 billion. It is estimated that after 33 years in 2088 the population will be 11 billion.

So, the human population is projected to hit 8 billion on Tuesday.
