watcher unfortunately it is just not about food and space there is a host of other matters to consider i.e. --
water - getting more scarce in many countries even England ( this last summer). Without water and apart from drinking
supply means less food production , hygiene deterioration leading to more disease etc. More humans the more
water wastage through increased industry , gardens ,vehicle washing , swimming pools and hot tubs etc etc
Food - more food may be possible to be grown in some countries but will have to be transported to others with the obvious
effect on air and water pollution and fuel requirement.
pollution - nearly all the major rivers worldwide are polluted and much of the oceans now and this is affecting marine life -
less fish
sewage - this is probably an area where most people do not consider but even in our country we are struggling to manage
the sheer volume. It is not just about bathing quality of our beaches but the polluting of the rivers and oceans
Waste - the world is struggling to manage the waste especially the poorer countries where the waste is just land ,rivers or
sea dumped
Power demand - more humans more power demand especially if more vehicles are electric powered.
Health - more hospitals , health staff especially as we are living longer but not necessarily in good health
Migrants - this is going to increase year on year and will be difficult to stop without brute force closing borders.
Transport - more for manufactured goods, food and probably water and regrettably holiday & entertainment flights . The
latter two should have sunk into people by now . If parents care for their children then they should be thinking ahead
not just the present. Under entertainment i include major events like the world cup where thousand have travelled
long distances for the sake of football but is that and other sports worth more than saving the planet
There many more aspects to consider but can be covered by people looking at what they have or desire and then equate that to the huge world population.
I could carry on but hope that enough is pointed out above to start people thinking on a broader viewpoint.
