Threats of population growth?

Many people regard the rapid population growth of developing countries as our most serious environmental problem. Others think that the population growth in developed countries, although smaller, is actually a greater environmental threat. What problems results from population growth in (a) developing countries and (b) the industrialized world? Which do you think is a greater threat, and why?Threats of population growth?(A) Population growth in developing countries can lead to hunger.

(B) Population growth in industrialized countries will lead to an increase in pollution.



As population grows in both developing and industrialized countries, great pressure is being placed on arable land, water, and biological resources to provide an adequate supply of food while maintaining the integrity of our ecosystem.



Population growth in industrialized countries is a greater threat because it will influence our environment by consumption of resources.Threats of population growth?
There is no threat of a population explosion. The opposite is now recognized as the greater threat to humanity, a population implosion that is underway. The myth of over population is propaganda related to racism, social engineering and Big Boy games of separating people from their money. Here is a simple article about the myth of over population:

Also, of the two, industrialized nations and undeveloped nations, certainly the people in industrialized nations are by far the larger threat. People in the U.S. consume eight times more of the planet's resources per person than the rest of the world per capita. That runaway consumerism is destroying the planet. See the film "Advertising and the End of the World". It's an amazing little documentary that explains the dangers of runaway consumerism. I believe Netflix has it.Threats of population growth?the correct metric to use here is green house gas emission per person in different countries. using this metric the industrialised world poses a bigger threat.



Yes population puts a lot of pressure on natural resources, but the per capita or even for that matter the total resource consumption is more for the developed nations.Threats of population growth?
I think the simplest and most direct answer to your question is to reduce it to economics and energy consumption. In developed nations a lower birthrate increases the economic value of each child. We spend incredible amounts of energy educating, feeding, clothing, providing transportation for, providing technology for and transporting our children.



Based on the above, I offer some generalizations which may illustrate to you the complexities of evaluating the "greater environmental threat."

--Larger populations have a higher probability of geniuses and of genius working together for innovation

--As developing nations climb the rungs of economic development, their birthrate may tend to decline

--As population increases, the world becomes more resource challenged, the energy expended to raise a child in a developed nation will be higher

They don't want "foreigners"in the country.They do the work for less than others because the original occupant does not like to do that kind of work.

More people more work,more jobs are created.

The only mistake they make the cities are too big, they should consider smaller cities ,,but than many more,so it all stays pleasant.Threats of population growth?
it is a problem and should not be ignored. They are desperately looking into colonizing Mars to save Earth. Right now it might not be that serious but it will be in 50 years. there's going to be no nature left.Threats of population growth?
In developing countries rapid population growth can result in a severe lack of resources, which could lead to isolated or widespread famine. In developed countries population growth increases consumption which creates more pollution. Neither is a greater threat in my opinion, as they are too different and equally undesireable.
