Introduction Human population is currently increasing. At times in the past, the human population has stabilized and in some cases even decreased. The increase in population that we are seeing now is due to a food surplus for the global population. Unless there are great strides in agricultural innovation in the near future, the human population must slow down and eventually level out in order to make sure that the population size does not overshoot the food surplus; that level of population is called
reasons and problems of water in India. The report indicates the water scarcity become the most important question in the whole world. The country in the water scarcity need more water resources, some solutions are listed in the following context. Water scarcity means that the some areas get the shortage about the water. The fresh water in India become very rare, 30% of the fresh water become bad and make the human beings get the ill. The two issues in India is that The first problem in India is
aspect of the population problem, he has ignored the population trend that has begun from his era and has taken individual freedoms too lightly. He has also made wrong assumptions, thus experiencing Crowe’s rebuttal. The following essay is a discussion of main points of Hardin’s and Crowe’s works and a personal reflection on them. Summary The Tragedy of the Commons by Garrett Hardin In The Tragedy of the Commons, Hardin (1968) argues that over-population is a “no technical solution problem.” A technical
Problem Global water challenge have generated some problems which cause the people don’t have access to adequate supplies of safe drinking water and adequate sanitation. At this moment, there have nearly billion of people in the developing world don't have access to it. According to ( Samuel Taylor Coleridge , 2015 ) states that about 1 out of every 6 people living today do not have adequate access to water, and more than double that number lack basic sanitation, for which water is needed. In some
The issue of Growing Population “Overconsumption and overpopulation underlie every environmental problem we face today.” (Jacques Yves Cousteau). What he means in this quote is simply more people create more problems in this word. Overpopulation alone can cause many complications like poverty, world hunger, lower the standard of living, cause a growing unemployment rate and drain the planet of its natural resources. These are all problems on their own but if traced back far enough can all lead to
world with the estimated population of 22.8 million. This country is also seen as one of the most heavily urbanized countries in the world with the human settlement dominated by six major cities. In 2010, the Commonwealth of Australia released a report that showed the population was projected to expand to nearly 36 million, by more than a half in the coming four decades (p. 8). The intense growth is reputed to be the result of Australian Government’s adopting population growth policies. Australia’s
Can you fathom the fact that 780 million people in the world do not have access to safe water right now and that 2.5 billion people lack access to adequate sanitation? To put it another way, roughly 35 percent of the world’s population are affected by problems relating to water (WHO, 2008). But do these statistics imply that planet Earth has an insufficient store of water to sustain all living things? Factually, it is not. NASA estimates that the planet still has the same 326 quintillion gallons

The green economy results in the improved well-being of humans as well as social equity while reducing environmental risks and the ecological scarcities (SALGA, n/d).

issues that human is facing today. It is becoming a problem for people of all races, religions and nationalities. According to the BBC, there were approximately 7.2 billion people on the planet in the year 2016. However, the world cannot grow any larger, yet the human population keeps growing every year. We must slow the increase of our world’s population before our resources become insufficient and rapidly decreases our quality of life. The issue of overpopulation must be solve before the human race,
a real problem. The con article I summarized was Population Is Not The Problem. The author stated that overpopulation is not real because humans, for centuries, have learned to adapt and change. That humans know how to adapt to the change in population and know how to live and create in a changing environment. As the years go by, humans have adapted through them, so basically, if we can adapt through all those years of population change, than we can deal with and get through this population gain.
