Q) Is the population growing because A) We are breeding like rabbits OR B) Because we are no longer dying like flies?mmissinglink said:The world population will continue to increase significantly into the foreseeable future. The growth rate is the birth rate - the death rate. Barring some cataclysmic event, the birth rate will continue to outpace the death rate.
Even a miniscule 1.098% annual increase (which is that of 2012) means that in 2012, the world population increased by about 77,900,000....that's 77,900,000 resource hungry people more than in 2011...and this number already factors in those who died in 2012.
Our children and their children are in big trouble people and our own generation is to blame to a large degree.
A) B
Q If the population is increasing because we are no longer dying like flies is this population increase sustainable?
A) No it is not sustainable and population will crash based entirely on physical restraints of human aging. (death n taxes n all that)
Q) Are you sure?
A) Don't bother believing me just open your eyes and watch japan... if you can believe your own eyes
