Overpopulation is the Disaster Waiting for the Planet Sooner than Climate Change

With more than ONE BILLION people on this earth going hungry every year, and the world at present is already overpopulated at close to 8 billion people, which is projected to grow to TEN BILLION people within a mere 28 years, Over Population of the Planet is the Disaster awaiting to happen far sooner than climate change.

Unfortunately, the political theories of today’s leftist liberalism and its social reformers remain living in their construed unrealistic unicorn world of the belief that with proper government and big Teck social structures, all ills of the people on the planet could be eradicated.

 However, back in the 1700 century, we all were warned about the inability of the planet to adequately feed, water, or house a world population of over say 5 BILLION people. And with over ONE MILLION people going hungry each year the theory of Malthus, is today, now more than ever, acceptable to economists and far more accurate than those of Alfred Russel Wallace and Charles Darwin, in my opinion.

 Overpopulation, NOT climate change, shall far sooner than the latter, cause a global epidemic of famine, poverty, starvation that neither government, big Teck companies or advances in science, shall overcome the scarcity of water or food supply once the planet has surpassed its capabilities thanks to the world’s overpopulation combined with societies irresponsibility’s and inability to effectively support more people because of the planet’s scarcity and incapacity of resources.

• Between 1990 and 2015, the proportion of the global population using an improved drinking water source has increased from 76 percent to 90 percent
• Water scarcity affects more than 40 percent of the global population and is projected to rise. Over 1.7 billion people are currently living in river basins where water use exceeds recharge.
• 2.4 billion people lack access to basic sanitation services, such as toilets or latrines
• More than 80 percent of wastewater resulting from human activities is discharged into rivers or sea without any pollution removal
• Each day, nearly 1,000 children die due to preventable water and sanitation-related diarrheal diseases
