Even in overpopulation, can earth be saved?

Question

Even in overpopulation, can earth be saved?

Answer 1

Uhhhh, overpopulation is a myth. No thanks to abortion and family planning, most countries are in a population DECLINE.

Answer 2

The most important task to save the earth is to educate. If more schools teach environmental science, then there is a greater chance that people will want to help the earth. This may be difficult with overpopulation, but it's a start.

Answer 3

The earth will not be destroyed any time soon. How ever the human race may be wiped out. Depends on what disaster your talking about. I'm guessing that your talking about the Global Warming crisis. In that case, yes the human race can be saved, but we need to act soon. We've past the tipping point, but we haven't past the point of no return yet.

Answer 4

People have been asking this a lot, but I don't think it's the right question.  Half of the world is without a supply of drinking water, more than half has no food supply.  Developed countries pollute at an accellerating rate, including the chemicals that fuel Global Warming.  Developing countries are razing their forests as fast as they can because the governments of developed countries are paying them to implement ethanol technologies that are planned to fail.

None of that can be changed.  Can some portion of the human race survive?  No one knows.  So, what should we do?  Start learning a skillset needed to survive without industrial technology.  Start locating sites where strongholds could be established with the best chance of survival.  Will this result in survival?  No one can know that right now.  It's really a question of whether its appropriate to just sit on your butt.

Answer 5

If people start carin about global warming and animals then we have a little bit of hope but if we keep being how we are now then we be doomed

Answer 6

Saved from what exactly? The Earth is in no danger at all, just the human race is in danger.

Answer 7

Yes, even in overpopulation, earth can be saved.

International organisations of leading countries, like NASA, etc, are already exploring new frontier in outer space. What is science fiction can become possible in the future, i.e. living things is just not on Earth only.  The nearest possible answer is to look to Earth's own moon for shifting of population.

Answer 8

As long as the plant population increases we will be ok.

Answer 9

Yes, mass extinction.

Answer 10

Earth yes

the populations NO

the greatest danger of extinction are

when  a specie is to few and when there are to many

History has proved that.
