All of these things are pushing the population higher and higher making more problems than it is solving. (How Many) .
The world's population is growing exponentially with no end in sight of it stopping, making the economy hurt with all of the people that it has under its grasp. One of the major factors that go into a strong economy is an employed population, but what happens when there are more people then there are jobs and the population finds itself with a quarter of them unemployed and out of work. Not only does it hurt it with unemployment, but like anything when a product is over produced the price drops, but unlike a product you cannot just destroy the extra products that are pulling down the price. With a lower pay check people do not buy as many things putting more people out of a job and just keep making things worse and worse till the whole system crashes, (Overpopulation). Along with hurting the economy overpopulation also plays a part in the environment. With more people, there needs to be more home, fuel to heat the homes, transportation to move the people, and the fuel to run that transportation. Not only does these things led to deforestation, but also adds to the amount of carbon dioxide that humans put in the earth's atmosphere. This could lead to higher temperatures, making the polar ice caps melt more changing the way that water travels and controls the world's temperatures. .
Today, we fight over oil shortages and land, but think if the earth had another two billion people where would they get their oil or where would they get their food. Right now the production of food is growing faster than the growth of the population, but how much longer can scientist make higher yielding crops. At the point when a country like the United States, has the thirst for oil or even food, but not have the supply they will go to war and take it from countries that are less powerful; which could lead to other countries doing the same making a worldwide war.
