Lollypop 0 Posted June 16, 2003 There are now 6,322,922,647 people in the world :lol: 20 years ago there were 4 billion people... Every second five people are born and two people die, a net gain of three people. It's absolutely frightening, we are running out of resources now. We are using water faster than it's being replenished. What will it be like in 20 years from now when countries are going to war over water, and arable land.

Lollypop 0 Posted June 17, 2003 I really worry about future generations, we are going to leave them with nothing. This country as only been colonised for 170 years. And already we are down to only 30% of the trees we once had. :lol: And then there's the problem of over fishing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nik 0 Posted June 17, 2003 I suppose that eventually the human population will begin to decline, whether we want it to or not. Like any species, we rely on an environment to support our needs. When that environment becomes insufficient, the population declines to the point at which the environment can support it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
