The Earth has already exceeded its ability to support the global population sustainably, with new research warning of increasing pressure on food security, climate stability, and human wellbeing. However, slowing population growth and raising global awareness could still offer humanity some hope.
The study shows that humans have pushed well beyond the planet’s long-term capacity and that continued growth under current patterns of consumption will intensify environmental and social challenges for communities worldwide.
Population is to blame only if you think that the depletion of resources is shared equally among all people and required for survival.
Correct and concise! I’m sick of hearing ‘overpopulation is killing earth’ when the reality is industrialised capitalism is the cancer killing us all
