Too many people?
Over 7 Billion people in the world. We know this number is unsustainable unless we ruin the environment by converting huge areas into farmland.
Which would cause such climate change as to kill a huge portion of the population, thus making the need for the farmland we just created completely redundant.
Anyway, long story short, do you think we have too many people in the world?
Am I the only one who thinks we could do with a new plague to take out a portion of the population?
Just watch an episode of Jeremy Kyle and you might agree with me.
4 billion people is a sustainable number.
On a side note, apparently in Futurama the population of earth is only 1 Billion (thanks Tumblr)
Now that is a sustainable number.
If something happened to reduce the worlds population to 4 billion it would be a lot better all round, for the environment and the human race. in terms of resources, farmland needed, living area needed and influence and damage to the environment, it's a sustainable number.
Scientists worked it out, don't ask me to state my source, I can't remember where I heard it. Some documentary or other.
Knowing my luck though, I'd be one of the 3 billion who didn't make it.
