What will happen to the Earth and civilization if the human population isn't stabilized soon?

Question

Technology advances, but at a price. Isn't it time for people to realize there is no longer any place to expand to? And don't say other worlds. Even if possible, we would overwhelm resources there. Aren't we already straining the Earth's processes? What about population attrition?

Answer 1

The best way to ease earth population is to make a law just like in china 3 child per couple or parent to ease earth population.

Answer 2

in 1998 an American Statesman announced In Copenhagen that the Agenda of the Bilderberg group demanded a cut of 60% in the worlds population

Bringing it down to around 3 billion ,which is the official figure for what the planet can sustainably support ,including other Earthlings .like animals

but

it is a sensitive issue ,

People do not like to be confronted with below the belt truths

its a natural reaction for A VIRUS

that only wants to reproduce and multiply

In Nature all species follow the law of harmony or equilibrium

those who become a plague or are in excess have to pay the price .

And nobody wants to pay,so with a click they shove you under the carpet

To survive in Answers one has to become diplomatic

which is a nice word for lying

People will not understand that vast areas of the planet are not fit to live in for us .

And that other vast areas are needed simply to be Environment,to produce conditions and resources the we as humanity need elsewhere such as water and air and clouds

And we are not the only earthlings ,although we are the most power full ones

We have to share this Planet with many other creatures,

Although many invasive personalities will disagree with that

and feel that we must conquer all for our selves alone.

Somebody even suggested

to colonize Penguin Country.

Others want to live in the land of the crabs ,on the bottom of the Ocean in bubbles,

Why is it such a big deal to limit our numbers ,what is this obsession that all sperms must live.

History teaches us that the biggest risk of extinction occur when a specie is to small or to many

and we are running towards too many.

The inevitable results has to be Famine,disease ,War and shortage of resources (we already got some of that )

Does any one seriously believe that there can be peace on a crowded planet ,Wake up and look around you Mr,Wake up

Vegans dream on,there will not be a Vegetarian world population

,We all know that an acre can feed hundreds of vegetarians to a couple of carnivores.

But when the cows are gone,you will become dinner for those who will ONLY EAT MEAT, .Like the Mexicans

A tree has more sense,of the billions of seeds they disperse into their surroundings ,only the ones who land in the soil and conditions that can support them will survive.

Answer 3

The same thing thats been going on for the last 500 000000 years!

Answer 4

Malthus already answered this: war, vice, and disease.

Answer 5

human population will stabilize eventually weather we do it consciously or weather its due to bird flue or some such disaster.

Answer 6

no chance with the spread of oppressive patriarchal religeons forcing women to pump out kids. christianity and islam will cause a surge in the birth rates unless we control their spread. instead of a planned gradual reduction to a sustainable population (3 billion?), population reduction will be brutal, random and by starvation, disease and war. we blew it.
