.. i've read this very alarming news on yahoo. Here's a segment
BEIJING (Reuters) - Humans are stripping nature at an unprecedented rate and will need two planets' worth of natural resources every year by 2050 on current trends, the WWF conservation group said on Tuesday..
We are depleting Earth's resources. With all our technological advancement we can't stop the world from ending.


WHOLE STORY

it's not something that i'm surprised about.. just imagine the rate of live births per second.. population is growing and growing and growing.. is there such thing as "human pollution"? hehe..

[fingolfin]

.. hollywood is aware of this thing called human pollution, they've always portrayed this sort of scenarios on many movies. WWF and GREENPEACE, kept of "shouting" take heed on your actions for the earth is dying but the conglomerate leaders won't or just turn a cheek. Illegal logging, unchecked fishing. We are eating more than Earth producing. By 2050 it won't be a war for oil, it will be for food.

i think war is needed to control human pollution heheheeh

those people are just exaggerating. maybe it will happen to poor countries like ours but not in the western countries. their population is very low compared to ours. i think new technologies could also help the problem with food production.

You should know your facts straight before you even pull a comment. Western countries are more on the risky side compared to third world countries. Why? I'll put the obvious right in front of you, bigger countries equals bigger population. Result? More resources utilized.

Natural disasters, Wars, Diseases and the plain old human nature (its ability to destroy itself) will take care of human population. Careers even help minimize human population. Checkout Singapore's birthrate. and i don't think we're going to use oil forever. Other technologies would be implemented.

How many do you think will die when a nuclear war breaks out? How many will die because of diseases?

western countries are on the bigger risk? are u serious? we are on the bigger risk because our population is increasing, our food production is not growing much, the quality of education is declining, and our place is getting more polluted every hour. what i mean when is said that the western countries population is lower than our is the density of a country interms of population(no. of people/ total land area). bigger countries may have bigger population than ours but the real basis is the density of the population of the country. the population in our country is already very dense, far more denser than those of western countries and our resources may not cope up with the demands in the years to come. western countries have enough of their needs and has found ways to maximize the use of their available resources. japan may have a dense population but they have the technology to balance the effect of their high population. there are already many technologies developed to help minimize the consuption of our resources just like recycling and research for new alternative materials. our population is growing at 2% annual and with that rate, our population may double in the next 30yrs. if you are living in the city, just imagine 30yrs from now when the total number of people living in it doubles. it could even look worse than the today' s squatters area in manila. what more to those squatters area in manila 30yrs from now

.. amen to that. We the still-developing countries are the one's who will suffer and suffer we shall if these alarming statistics comes true. We don't have the financial power to compete with the other world supremes such as the USA..
