The worlds population is forecast to reach 7 Billion next Monday. What does this mean for the human population? While the growing population is set to have little affect on those who live in first world nations, its those in developing who will be impacted the most over the next 25 years.
The human population has already exceeded forecasts in terms of the population that the planet can sustain. Problems seem certain in the future however, with famines already affecting many in third world countries. It is only a matter of time before we see the stabilisation of the human population through one of the population controls identified by Thomas Malthus which included, war, famine and disease.
They say that one man can change the world, but its time all 7 billion people worked together to ensure that we do have enough resources to cater for the worlds growth.
