World #1 Problem: We Are Too Many

World's high population is the main cause of global issues.
The root cause of each & every major global issues today is because we (human race) are more than what we suppose to be. Some of the existing issues which many of them are also increasing every day: Global hunger; food shortage & price increase; energy shortage, increase in demand & price; poverty; water shortage; lack of job (high unemployment); political conflicts; wars; terrorism; growing unrest, demonstrations, revolutions, and strikes; increase in number of cars, devices, and garbage; increase in pollution (soil, water, air, atmosphere, orbit); lack of education (cost increase, less affordable, high dropout); health issues (fast disease distribution, new sickness, new & stronger bacteria/viruses, medical cost increase, less affordable); crime rate (& increase in brutality); drug creation, trafficking, addiction, etc (& all crime & murder related to it); prostitution; over fishing; etc….

With significant & continuous improvement in technology (machines, computer, robotics, automation, etc.), management, and efficiency; less & less work force is needed everyday to produce the same stuff for everyone and satisfy the demand. Therefore, less & less workers are needed, which leads to more & more layoffs & unemployment.

Syriana said: “capitalism can’t survive without waste”. It needs increase in population, consumption, replacement, through out, and waste. More waste leads to more pollution but a lot of big corporations, investors, shareholders, and people, don’t care. More pollution cause more environmental impacts, more impacting animals, plants, seas & oceans, coral reefs,…, and human itself. Yes, we are also shooting ourselves in the foot.

The main problem, the root cause for all the suffering of nature (trees, etc.) & wild animals, if u trace is one thing: We (Human) are Too Many. Huge human population growth in the world in such a short time within ~ half a century (and keep growing), has caused so much problem for nature, as well as human itself. Look at the diagrams of the human population growth - it's scary. Imagine if any large animal in world had such a growth & population & presence on whole earth, and we were the minority! We'd all die from heart attach. I don't know how these poor animals had survived! Please advocate to every country and UN to do something about this epidemic (from nature point of view); to teach & encourage people to keep # of children 2 or below; give them free condom, or whatever that works.

No more horizontal expansion of human cities. Human has already expanded too much, and taken most of planet, made life very difficult for all animals & plants who share this planet Earth with us. Human must stop its population growth, and for the meantime, expand cities only vertically, to leave this little space that has left for the rest of nature.

If a solar storm (or any other national disaster) happen, & we lose electricity, power, energy, etc., it’ll be very hard for people on earth to survive.

From Doc. film "Planet Earth":
* Over the last 300 yrs, we’ve lost ~ 0.5 of the world’s forest. But the pattern of loss has been very different. So much of the earlier period of loss, covered the temperate forests, in both the north & the south, especially in EU & N-America more recently, we are finding we are losing tropical forests at a much quicker rate than previously. Is the ultimate problem for wilderness worldwide that there r simply too many people?

* Jonathon Porritt (Chair, UK Sustainable Development Commission): One thing that’s always worried me ~ the environment movement for the last 30 yrs., is their inability to get their heads around the importance of population…. But the issue of population lies absolutely at the heart of destruction of the natural world today.
