Pooja Shah	Overpopulation is a serious probem that our country is facing today. In india the number of people overpowers the resources. We face a lot of problems. to meet the needs of ever growing population millions and millions of trees are cut every year and there is a shortage of fresh air, as trees help to purify the air as a result our environment gets polluted. Many birds and animals extinct due to the loss of habitat,the forests.We suffer a lot! So we should help to overcome the problem and protect our environment and also protect ourselves bcoz if there is no environment there are no human beings	6/7/2011

ProfBob	EARTH DAY About a year and a half ago Science Daily noted that overpopulation was the biggest threat to our world. Global warming was second. Obviously overpopulation increases the use of the irreplaceable natural resources; increases the waste and pollutants that affect our air, water and land; reduces the amount of water for drinking and farming; reduces the amount of arable land available for each person; increases famines and poverty; and increases illegal immigration to escape these problems. Uninformed people criticize Malthus, but what he said is true. His Britain is a net importer of food today. For skeptics, rather than saying that the facts are not true and hoping you are right, it would be wise to look at the evidence and criticize it with evidence rather than with hope. I suggest that you read Book 1, especially the sections on skeptics, in "In Search of Utopia"andgulliverreturns.info. It is authoritative, documented, and free.	4/22/2011

dhruv mathur	By definition, overpopulation is the condition where the number of organisms exceeds the carrying capacity of their habitat. We are facing the effects of overpopulation in our daily lives. Overpopulation has impacted the life of common man and has proved to be one of the gravest difficulties that have to be fought. Overpopulation implies scarcity of resources and economic inflation; these are the monsters which can make life miserable. Living through the negative effects of overpopulation have made us realize serious problems associated with it. It is high time we wake up and find the causes of overpopulation and work on them	3/1/2011
Die human race	If this keeps up, this planet will become a giant wasteland. Like Mars or worse.	2/16/2011
Mr. X	Wouldn't it be ironic that the human race self destroyed itsel for reproducing too much? It is happening here, and now. Humans do not adapt to their environment, humans adapt the environment for their twisted needs of survival. We are like a virus, destroying our ecosystem until there is no more, and then we move to, another country or ecosystem to fu.ck it. Every human being needs enough terrain to cultivate and be independent, but is that space available? The answer is NO! And if we do not do something, we will all going to suffer, and it will be too late!	2/16/2011
Fu.ck Welfare	Another factor of overpopulation is welfare. Welfare should have limitations so that the baby making machines that are the welfare leeches stop overpopulating us with criminals and lazy, useless human sh.it. Check the overpopulation solutions of this website and read the comments.	2/16/2011

Mohsin	What is population	2/6/2011
Tony N	BUT before we swallow the little red pill thats prescribed by the Medicare Panel maybe we should debate the truth about fertility in the world, close the gaps in this Link and study the rates around the world , w w w .cia. gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/rankorder/2127rank. html , what countries are REALLY Needing a reality Check about population sustainability before we forfeit our right to FREEDOM of Choice , FREEDOM period , just because of the Agenda that seems to be lacking in evidence that America is over populating the world ! If we had immigration law enforcement in the USA we would have zero Population growth so the capitalist self reliance model that the USA uses for its Economic system is working great , as the fertility charts and Census reports show .	1/29/2011

mahima	good information !	8/11/2010
ProfBob	I find in reading those sites that say that population problems are a myth that their evidence is very sparse and inconclusive. Recently I read Book 1 of the free e-book series "In Search of Utopia" (andgulliverreturns.info), it blasts their lack of evidence relative to their calling overpopulation a myth. The book, actually the last half of the book, takes on the skeptics in global warming, overpopulation, lack of fresh water, lack of food, and other areas where people deny the evidence. I strongly suggest that anyone wanting to see the whole picture read the book, at least the last half.	7/6/2010

Sam	what are some problems caused by overpopulation	10/17/2009
T Bolha	S.Henderson makes some good points. We need to get at the root of the problem. I agree with Derrick Jensen when he wrote in Endgame about Civilized humans deifying themselves, seeing themselves as gods having domain over all the cosmos. This creates a separation from reality placing Civilized humans at top, as we try our best to impose this worldview onto non-civilized humans. The things you mention are symptoms of this worldview: Modern Med= Immortal gods. Even science subscribes to this worldview. If anyone is interested in understanding the causes of the Human-god complex read Columbus and other Cannibals by Jack D. Forbes. And to anyone who believes Over-population is not a problem: Whenever a species that has dwindled down to a population small enough for them to decide they should place them on some extinction list, they (civilized people) often take them off that list as soon as they see the population go up a few measly thousand… Yet here we are over 7 billion. Almost all civilized people own cars, we require food, that food often comes from factory farms- more land, malls, roads, factories, landfills, houses, cities, airports… As the population grows so do our conflicts, our problems, the stress of traffic, finding jobs, walking down the street… In this case, Less would be more. Less people would mean a higher quality of life for those living, as tribal peoples used to enjoy until civilization comes along. Civilization is another symptom of the god-worldview, but it’s getting very top-heavy and will topple soon. The sooner the better. By no means am I saying tribal life is utopia, just the other day I saw on the news something about witch doctors in some tribe telling people to kill albinos so they can get their magical powers… But is that very different then a civilized person killing another civilized person for money? Civilized people like to think our ways are so much better and lead to less suffering, but tell that to the animals on extinction lists, the tribes we force off their lands, cancer patients, people driven insane by the stress of living in civilization, anyone killed so that corporations can thrive… Most people hate their jobs and are Wage Slaves. Again Henderson made some good points and so do you, but population is not the root of this, it’s a symptom. I suggest you read Endgame by Derrick Jensen.	10/9/2009
Mark	it's just because of knowing the birth control method.	10/8/2009
Evon	I think one of the most important factors that have led to overpopulation is over excessive food production. The world is constantly producing food to feed drastically more than what our population needs -yet there are stil starving people all over the planet...how bizarre. As long as people have food, as long as they can maintain this basic need, they can continue to populate the earth and will continue to do so.	10/1/2009

S Henderson	This article has one thing right. Overpopulation is the gravest difficulty we now face. As for the rest, it is completely contradictory and is merely referring to the the drastic increase in the RATE of growth for the total global population. Advances in medicine and standards of living in the last 150 years are the cause of sudden, MASSIVE population expansion. This does not allow for the fact that since the advent of totalitarian agriculture, some 12,000 years ago, and the accompanying culture in which almost all of us now are part of, population growth has increased steadily, unceasingly and exponentially, except for the years of the Black Plague, which caused a very slight and short lived dip in the growth curve. I am so tired of reading short sighted articles that deny the truth - the human population has been increasing for thousands of years, almost without stopping, and we need to find the cause of THAT and solve it, now, today. Lack of education? Come ON! Seriously? Do you really believe that the majority of people in the 1600's were better educated than us? How on Earth then, did they manage to keep their populations from growing as fast as it has in the last FORTY years, given that their level of education and access to family planning (er, that's ZERO access) were so much less developed than ours? Perhaps you will attempt to explain this away by trotting out the old standby, high death rates. But then, the populations of the poorest nations on the planet (I assume that's who you are referring to when you mention the 'ignorant, unable to understand, 'illiterate lot of the world') should be doing just fine, given that AIDS is ravaging these suffering nations like no other disease of our time? One final gripe that I simply must mention - this article also makes it sound as though we have somehow cured people of death! All we have succeeded in doing is improving longevity and creating aging populations - as wonderful as a long life is, it is not the cause of overpopulation. Overall a pathetic article; guaranteed to spread misinformation, confusion, xenophobia and apportion blame where none is necessary.	4/14/2009

Tambo Mkutengo	Over population: Exposing the Myth Kenya population 37.9m Japan population: 127.3m UK population: 60.9m Kenya total land: 569,250 sq km Japan total land: 374,744 sq km UK total land: 241,590 sq km Kenya population density 59 people per square km Japan population density: 339 people per square km UK population density: 246 people per square km With the highest population density Japans GDP is twice that of the UK and Kenya put together. If Japan’s population were to drop to that of Kenya could it maintain its economic strength? In which country are the people most likely to suffer from lack of the basic necessities of life and which have the highest standard of living? Which country has the highest and lowest literacy rating? Note also that while most of Japan is impenetrable mountain the UK and Kenya are to a larger extent undulating plains or fertile valleys. Exposing the myth of overpopulation will challenge the most literate and educated among us. It will demand of you a more investigative and analytical mind which will not just accept and echo perceived notions but will ask questions of those who put forward these ideas. Who is putting it forward? What are their objectives? Who is it directed at and what are the outcomes? Which of my three nations has active policies to increase or decrease their population?	8/3/2008
Bob Giles	The biggest disaster that humans face now,is the out of control human population,that will destroy the very fabric of the human civilization.The earth has its limits to what it can provide,and this population that reaps that demand from the earth has stepped over that line of an irriversible disaster that now no one can stop,due to the arrogance of the world system,that is driven by money. Theirs only one answer to the saviour of our exsistence.To abolish the monatary system,and to replace it with a system,where the world will be united as one.The monartary system,segragates people.A system of unity will intergrate people that will be in harmony with the surroundings.	7/29/2008
