Human Population Growth

[DrDangDOGGone]

Stop Having Humans. Practice Birth Control Until You Get It Right! 7 Billion. ENOUGH!!!!

You right wingers who hate regulation but love population it's your fault!

[williweb9788]

Human sexual attraction has been a wildly successful method of assuring the survival of the species. Now it's getting to the point that it will assure the destruction of the species unless some changes are made, Treating the symptoms may work for a while, but treating the cause, having babies, is the only method that will work. "No brothers, no sisters" is the only feasible solution. The Chinese pioneered this thinking, and it must be instituted worldwide if we are to survive as a species.

[limoboss6242]

@TheTudiscoKid - Human nature to breed and procreate, you can't stop the forces of natural instinct,

population is growing and swelling all around, it is inevitable, don't fight it, let it happen!!

[walter0bz]

how about, access to oil-based products requires sterilization ?

[cockwiper]

can u imagine the world without babies AWESOME so dont make sperm come out of your cock or else I'll wipe it off but dont worry ppl if the population becomes too high like 12 billion in the year 2110 there will be a disease wiping out ppl so that will reduce it smart right

[TurkishSuperGuy]

Science and Genetical engineering can slow down population growth, and that is through vaccination. However that is Plan B. But we first need to educate Young people of the world Today, and have special subjects at School incorporatied into science or geography. explaining what the detrimental effects it can have on our society and of the environment. I have been doing a lot of research into population growth over the years, the resources to accomodate mankinds consumption is slowing down.

[1TtidnaB]

@TurkishSuperGuy Too late, thats just fantasy. Education wont stop us from reaching 9 billion, and it wont stop us from running out of oil. Billions will die in 40-60 years, and the remaning billions will still be starving.

[TurkishSuperGuy]

@1TtidnaB Yes i agree to a point, but it is not too late to change these drastic circiumstances. Science has provided us with an answer but they need to take this to the next level as educating the young people of today is getting to near impossible. The facts speak for themselves however we should procede to plan B, you dont want to go to plan C straight away as this may wipe out the entire population, That science leads in to Microbiology. Stoppign population overgrowth is Possible.

[1TtidnaB]

@TurkishSuperGuy I like your optimism moruk :) If youre saying what I think youre saying, its rational and almost necessary to make sure humanity got a future, but finding support for ideas like that wont be easy. And finding powers to implement them will be even harder.

[TurkishSuperGuy]

@1TtidnaB general people who may be concerned about overpopulation have opnions for themselves but when it comes to science the facts speak for themselves, I'm no Julian Assange the explorer, i'm a man of science and when i talk about future prepared plans to cap or decap populations growths, they are not open to public considerations. this is a strict organized group whos control of genetics and microbiology aid countermeasures for these epademics. The figure has not reached 9 billion yet....

[walter0bz]

@1TtidnaB -

just needs the majority to realise or sense instinctively whats coming, then all hell will break loose. see london riots, same day as stockmarket crash.

[srkb001]

?? .. I thought the population is decreasing.. today ere r more people die frm cigarettes, in wars, natural disasters, road accidents, drugs, AIDS, cancers, plus increasing of abortions and low birth rates.

[megatrollwarlock]

@srkb001 There's still a net increase of population by 2.4 people per second.

[megatrollwarlock]

@srkb001 It will stop by itself when we run out of resources, then equilibrium will be restored. Won't be pretty though.

[Texasjim2007]

Kill all the Greens and use them to feed the wales. Do you realize how stupid it is to claim the solution to all our problems to reduce our supply of human resources to solve problems with? The lower your population the fewer taxpayers you have, the fewer workers, the fewer scientists, and the fewer soldiers to protect your stupid Green ass from foreigners with growing populations.

[megatrollwarlock]

@Texasjim2007 lol, you're a dumbass

[coolsims94]

the main problem is that the average life expectancy has grown significantly because of modern heath care and medicine...more people therefore are being born faster than those that are dying...

[narjis96]

The problem of having babies in not the only problem population growth occurs because of more health cares, hospitals etc to keep people alive

[king811fdt]

who can tell me how to download the video

[SimpleWarrior422]

I guess I wont be having kids

Might as well be part of the solution then part of the problem

[riverlioness]

@SimpleWarrior422

Wonderful idea. Thumbs up.

[OrthodoxDarwinist]

We need worldwide population control. The average person will always act in self-interest, and we will destroy the whole ecosystem in the process. I am glad that the Rockefellers and others are dedicated to stemming the tide of this massive problem.

[Zamriasra]

I have no respect towards this video because of 1:10 if you actually believe this then go kill yourself for not being educated.

[allxtar]

kill people!?

[cheesynounou]

would it also contribute to less jobs?

[sonicftw420]

we need to wars  stops having babies

[simonferet]

Webster's:

Definition of PROPAGANDA

ideas, facts, or allegations spread deliberately to further one's cause or to damage an opposing cause;

Ask yourself: what cause are they seeking?

The term "overpopulation" means "too many people". Such a statement is anti-human. "Overpopulation" is a fear tactic, not a solution to overconsumption. The only solution to overconsumption is to QUIT BEING GREEDY.

"The miracle is this: the more we share, the more we have." - Leonard Nimoy

[AspiringPotato]

@simonferet

Total consumption = number of ppl * average consumption per capita. Note the fact that there are two things being multiplied. Note that reducing either will lower the value of the product.

[barzouf94]

@simonferet

It's not propaganda. The earth's resources aren't limitless and yes I do agree that people overly consume in the western world. Having less children in conjunction with being able to live off the land without any Monsanto corporations, not eating meat, not buying the latest electronic gadgets, using a fuel economy car and only if you really have to, recycling your old clothes, furniture or appliances etc...there are so many ways. Voluntary simplicity is the answer.

[riverlioness]

@simonferet

No, 7 billion mouths to feed is real.

Here is some economics that should make sense. The average fully grown adult eats around $200 in groceries per month. The average child consumes around $170. That's about $14 trillion per month to feed the planet.

I'll tell you the cause people are seeking? To prevent human suffering.

[simonferet]

@riverlioness

You start off by stating the issue which in itself lies the solution. There are mouths - feed them. You continue by quoting extreme numbers to which the only effect is scaring off people of the possibility that world hunger can be conquered. What's the matter at hand here? Money or providing all people their basic human rights?

[simonferet]

@riverlioness

200 per month, huh? I suppose you've never participated in any charity work. If you had you would know that these figures do not reflect the people we are talking about. We're not talking about middle class Americans who can afford to feed themselves.

[simonferet]

@riverlioness

Do you know you can feed an entire family for a year with less than $200? We're not shipping mccain frozen dinners and mcdonald's milkshakes to Africa. You do your research, then you do the math - then compare that number with the excess wealth people all over the world are hording. There's no reason for any one to go hungry.

[XWWE88]

the ONLY people that should be shown in this video should be from China and India. That is where the overpopulation is coming from. Not from blacks, whites, Native Americans, Middle Easterners, nor Australian Aborigines. JUST CHINA AND INDIA. About a third of the world population alone comes from these two irresponsible fucked up piece of crap countries For people who are (supposed to be) so fucking smart yet haven't figured out how to keep their legs closed and their dicks in their pants

[6578722]

... Kill not your children because of poverty - We provide sustenance for you and for them ... (Quran 6:151)

From this verse, two things can be clearly derived:

Provisions are bestowed by God; we just earn.

We must not kill our children when we are short on provisions.

[limoboss6242]

@blueseawendy- How can you stop people from having babies, that is impossible.

Human nature to procreate. Even advocating birth control and giving out free birth

control will not stop babies from happening, the power of Human sexual urges is

almighty. The population growth is inevitable, we must adapt to having more people added to the planet everyday. With more people come more babies, so to

say stop having babies, that is not possible. The wave of humanity is growing

everywhere.

[verdefull]

Asians and blacks having to many children while whites doesn't have no children.

[Jacory069]

To solve this issuse we must all kill your family tree!! VERDEFULL!!!

[cockwiper]

@verdefull no not really there's a white family of 19

[EliteDoomer]

@verdefull What a dumb ass statement.

[mrb188]

@verdefull I'm going to skip over your grammar problems and get right to the actual issue: 1 American produces the same greenhouse gas emissions as 175 Ethiopians. Take a minute to let that sink in.

Population isn't a problem because the bodies; it's a problem because of resource consumption. Who's doing the "overpopulating" now? Source: List of countries by carbon dioxide emissions per capita (wikipedia.) For reference, the U.S. is about 73% white.

[LordNadir1]

If you have a son, adopt a baby girl. If you have a daughter, adopt a boy and the world population crisis will be solved.

[youratwit]

just a lovely song

[peloeda17]

We need to decrease human population

What we need is WW5

[walter0bz]

@peloeda17 -

or zero child policy

[BlueSeaWendy]

STOP HAVING BABIES!

[limoboss6242]

@BlueSeaWendy WHY?

[limoboss6242]

@BlueSeaWendy - we need more babies to keep world growing!!

[TurkishSuperGuy]

@limoboss6242 depite all of the known casulties, war, Aids, cancers and increased deaths due to malnorisment and diseases the population per capita has increased in marginal rates, and folded over twice since the early 1900's. To understand this you need to look at a population explosion chart which can be available online.

[hagenar]

Remember, the population of the first world has a far greater impact on the planet than that of the the third. Don't deflect blame elsewhere, use a condom.

mother earth is very tired...................

[fuzzwahmrp]

I gave it a thumbs up, BUT I have to say... on the list of "human population growth contributes to:" the first thing to come up is GLOBAL WARMING?! With all due respect that is garbage, do the research PLEASE! Global warming is not caused by people. YES pollution is bad, YES increased population means increased pollution and that is bad, but NO the pollution caused by humans is NOT causing the climate to change.

[LordNitinSaini]

@fuzzwahmrp : Over Population does contribute to GLOBAL WARMING, each human being is like a 100 watt bulb, emitting heat. Too many humans means the average temperature goes up!!!! If we remove all humans on the planet, the average global temperature will fall by 0.7 C. THATS A LOT BUDDY!!!!!!!!! We are still not taking into account the pollution each human causes in his/her cycle of consumption!!!!!!!!

[fuzzwahmrp]

@LordNitinSaini wow human BODY TEMPERATURE? Where'd you hear that piece of pseudo science garbage? I can't even argue with such foolishness, I'm sorry.

[LordNitinSaini]

@fuzzwahmrp : What I am saying is that Over-Population is a serious issue and it needs to be dealth with. It is contributing not only to pollution, but also shortage of natural resources..... I guess you believe in THAT MUCH SCIENCE!!!! OR DOES THIS ALSO LOOK PSEUDO to you!!!!!!

[SibylVane1]

Sterilize yourself first, then provide commentary.

[MrSkate4weed]

how about we have a global dictatorship that allows each family a maximum of 1 child, then, 30 years from now our population should go down. its either that or the governments can start putting anthrax in our cereal, which do you prefer cunts?

[RayDandy]

@MrSkate4weed ....or we can continue to breed like rabbits and let the world continue to sink into a social, economic,environmental and war-torn hell. Is that preferable to you?

[MrSkate4weed]

no id rather go with my suggestion

[njabulani]

@MrSkate4weed I think I'll take the global dictatorship

[boundtogetdown]

ill bet my pennys nickles and dimes that we dont reach 7E9 people

[Quebicrecords]

and so the wheels turn ...no focus on family ...so no family ...so no kids...are we not missing something...we are trying to hard to live and forgetting in the process how to thrive and exist and grow our societies . maybee even being consumed in our selfishness.

Just to provoke a little thought...is what we are doing making progress towards population expansion ? think about it....

[Quebicrecords]

Another problem may be that for women to survive and achieve the top jobs in a mans world, they have to think and behave like men. This would mean that the focus will shift from a family focus to a work motivated one.. ok so you working really hard and so you want to play hard, you get in from work and go out to recreation, maybee a one night stand with no strings or commitment required so it suits you (men aswell as women)

[dave19941000]

@Quebicrecords This is off topic, but your user name sounds alot like where I live (Quebec).

[Quebicrecords]

@dave19941000

no its my web site dave quebic records .com

[Greginda11]

all the things you have listed don't have anything to do will over population it has to deal with over consumption or misused consumption. Species went extinct because of humans long before the 1 billion mark. Same with desertification, over crowding (London for proof). Everything you gave talks about problems with consumption not with the population. Decrease our consumption and use the resources wisely and it won't matter if there is 9 billion.

[Caio95A]

Great vid, my geography teacher showed us this and we really liked it.

P.S:whats the name of the song ???

[Danno19821]

Using this for my population pyramid introduction for my grade 7 class... thanks!

[downtownbrown0007]

Awesome video! I will use this in my algebra 1 class during exponential functions, thanks!

[Thechristiancullen]

This is a load of rubbish. Some parts of the world is depopulating itself in places like Russia and white europeans are committing genocide. Countries like Singapore are more overcrowded than India or China yet do not cause pollution and other harm. It is not population growth but wrong management and ideologies of countries that are the concern. Shalom

[Lobotaru]

@Thechristiancullen

Mismanagement is a problem, but overpopulation is also a problem. Do you honestly think the average person in India lives in conditions comparable to, say, a person in the United States? To say that would be absolutely rediculous.

The US has greater resources and fewer people to have to divide it between, thus giving them a higher standard of living. If you have a population in the billions with only a quarter as much resources, they are NOT living at the same level.

[Thechristiancullen]

Excuse me but Singapore, SOuth Korea, Malta, Hong Kong and Netherlands etc is more all more over crowded than India.

The real problem of poverty in countries is do to with false philosophies based on false religions.

[Lobotaru]

And that gap is only increasing as population increases. Your going to have to realize eventually, our planet is FINITE. We depend on a limited amount of resources strictly found only on the thin surface layer of our planet.

All overpopulation does is force untold millions to lead subpar lives muted by billions who can do almost the same as they can. Its atrocious and wrong.

[Thechristiancullen]

So that is your reason for white europeans to depopulate themselves based on atheist/ humanisn beliefs??

[Lobotaru]

@Thechristiancullen

The areas where people are depopulating are small exceptions. They do not counter balance the overall growth rate of the human population.

Also, you are saying our depopulation is a problem, when the actual problem is immigration from lower domestic countries where they refuse to institute population controls due to fear that we are trying to malignantly control them.

[Lobotaru]

Also I do not see how either of my comments are "Atheistic" since that relates to whether one believes in a god or not, and infers nothing more than that.

Also, I doubt this has anything but a tertiary connection to humanism. As a matter of fact, I don't think we are talking religion at all here, are we?

If some religion you don't like seems to agree with some common sense fact that yours doesn't, are you saying you'll ignore it just because of that?

[Thechristiancullen]

What I am saying is that the world is not overpopulated. It is false religions, values and philosophies that cause overcrowding and overpopulation. Holland is more crowded than India yet enjoys a high standard of living.

The population of the world could sit together in a city the size of Atlanta. I do not consider population growth as a problem. In fact the depopulation of europeans from europe is going to be a major problem, another dark age.

[appledafruto]

How I hate the term third world countries!!!

I think this problem, the overpopulation is everyone's fault. We need to be better informed and the governments need to act soon and educated people about this. Because when we want to have children we don't think about the consequences or do we???

[905rocks]

the country that need to reduces there populations s is the third world because thats where al the growth is

[MissRustynails]

Ingnorance is the only thing that I have gathered

[MissRustynails]

I'm refering to the future, dumb ass

[pronatalist]

To MissRustynails:

You refer to the future? Would you care to specify, as your comment was too vague to be of much interpretation to me.

I have long been saying that we humans have to EMBRACE world population density naturally rising, because it's truth, and I see no better alternative to accommodate our many progeny, who are just as worthy of life as we are.

However, the natural fertility bottleneck is sufficient, there still isn't much real population problem within the forseeable future.

[MissRustynails]

Well as it may shock you, polution ISN'T decreasing. I have no idea what kind of cock and bull article you've read. The ozone hole is continuing to grow due to zero decrease in polution.

Regardless of religion, we have to face facts that there aren't enough resouces to support these people.

[pronatalist]

To MissRustynails:

I think population phobics fear humans are indeed solving too many problems, and that it may in fact be conceivably possible that the entire planet may eventually grow too crowded with people. So they don't want us to solve problems, which I must then call evil.

If population keeps growing, either more people will have to live "on top of one another," or more places will come to be inhabited by people. Probably the latter is preferable, although either/both is quite doable.

[pronatalist]

To MissRustynails:

Pollution is decreasing, that is, pollution that is any real problem, especially in developed countries such as the U.S. While obviously, with human populations expanding throughout much of the world, the volume of natural human wastes to be disposed of, has to correspondingly increase. Can mitigate, as simple understood technologies such as sewers, piped potable water, and toilets, are easily scalable for enlarged populations. Electricity eliminates millions of cooking fires

[whereiswarren]

Okay your crazy, please stop commenting on my video you are not convincing anyone of your pro-life and anti-abortion bull shit. Please stop.

[Christianitylol]

@pronatalist You are so fucking stupid that it's ridiculous. The fact that you're allowed to walk the streets is a danger to public health and your existence borders on the criminal.

[ColdInTheStudio]

What is the name of the song played in the background of this video???

[MissRustynails]

Oh Green World by The Gorillaz

[Apple6128]

We should save population

[Vortex1988]

You're missing the point. Organisms can only survive as long as they have enough resources. Once a certain organism hits their limit they start dying off and will either go extinct or hover around a number that their resources can support. The point is that globally if we don't have enough resources now we definitely won't if the population keeps growing. If we aren't responsible in controlling our population and controlling resources more efficiently, many people will die off.

[pronatalist]

To Vortex1988:

If world population keeps growing, there is a way it can be accommodated or absorbed without limiting numbers, without attacking loving parents for having so many wondrous children.

Obviously, more and more people can somehow fit upon a planet that isn't getting any bigger, by allowing human populations to naturally grow denser and denser. Allow cities, towns to grow larger and closer together, so there can be place for everybody.

If we don't control our #s, NEITHER WILL NATURE

[NubianKeyuana1]

What about those who are exterminated, deaths, etc... DO NOT BELIEVE IN OVERCROWDING TRUST ME THE WORLD IS BIG ENOUGH.

[Vortex1988]

You're an idiot

[NubianKeyuana1]

y because i dont believe in the media's lies and scare tactics.

[NubianKeyuana1]

oh and by the way you are a moron

[pronatalist]

To NubianKeyuana1

I believe in neither "birth control" nor imposing population "control" upon humans. What part of God's commandment to people, Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth, do we not understand? The rampant pushing of Big Pharma shoddy contraceptive potions and poisons, not only treat us like experimental lab rats, but attack basic/primal human freedom, dignity of individuals and families, and relegate humans to mere cogs in a cruel socialist society machine

Let babies push out

[genx1973]

Diseases are the only methods that nature can curb the human population knowing that humans do not have any natural predators so to speak. 6.5 billion people is an outrageous number and governments in developed nations should take the initiative to limit how many children a woman can have to the point of heavily fining family who have more then 2 children or sterilizing women and men alike in third world countries where having large families is common.

[MissArmeniax3]

it feels like we are our own natural predators...

[pronatalist]

To genx1973:

Actually, world population is officially more like 6.8 billion now, not 6.5 billion. 6.5 billion is old news of several years ago.

I see nothing "outragious" about 6.8 billion+ people being able to live all at the same time

"World population is barely large enough for you and I to have been born," somebody said

By the Utilitarian Principle, that often the best thing to do is that which most benefits the most people, it implies, human pop should grow "nearly as large as possible"

[genx1973]

Thanks for the update but that tell that to the billions of people who grow hungry everyday throughout the world .

[pronatalist]

To genx1973:

Why do supposedly "educated" people so easily buy into the dumb lies of the day?

Billions of people don't go hungry sometimes during famines, because there's "too many" mouths to feed.

"Overpopulation" is handy trendy scapegoat for all problems actually caused by corrupt politicians, rampant other people's sins, economies designed to exclude most people unfairly.

No matter how many people they can get rid of, problems persist or get worse, because it's sin that is the problem.

[MissRustynails]

You are so very naive.

People are dying because there isn't enough food, water and energy sources to support them. Do you realize that with over population of humans= extinction of plant/ animal life? Why? Because with too many humans comes the growing need for more land to live on and food to eat. We're intruding in other animal/ plant life. It's a hazard. More humans= more disease, famine, deforestation, the list goes on. Use your head!

[pronatalist]

To MissRustynails:

I am not naive. I have studied this stuff for 2 decades.

Why do you parrot Malthusian propaganda at me? Have you not heard the other pro-life side? You can find even YouTube videos telling you that "overpop" stuff is lies, that there are other, better explanations.

New World Order cabal has evil depop agenda. To treat people as slaves or drones of little value. Paganism. Rebellion against God. Poverty is caused, not by too many people, but by bad gov and fiat paper "money."

[MissRustynails]

Ohhhh okay, so in the end this has everything to do with abortion... huh okay interesting. Personally, I'm pro-choice but lets not start that debate. Anyway, how about you visit a 3rd world country and go talk to some of the people in those areas and ask them if they really do like having so many children. Most women there will say that they'd rather not, but what choice do they feel like they have?

[pronatalist]

To MissRustynails:

Of course it has to do with abortion. Saying babies aren't worth having, leads to abortion. I too would rather discuss something else than abortion

What about the choice of the baby to live?

Many parents rather do like having so many children, but they could use a more respect of society for the virtue of urging their families grow naturally. At least until the 1950s, parents had children and didn't even count the cost

Choice to not have sex, pulling out, or LARGE families

[MissRustynails]

...Or condoms and birth control...

[pronatalist]

To MissRustynails

There's also rhythm, but didn't you get my point? I don't expect married couples, who love one another, to deny flow of life. Sure, go ahead and enjoy sex during the most fertile time of the month. Don't pull out. It's okay to make more babies to come to life, even though the family is already quite big, and the home FULL of human life. Younger children especially could share beds. There's always room for "just 1 more" child or person in the world

Let families GROW naturally!

[MissRustynails]

More people= more polution

We're destroying GOD's earth with our growing need for resouces that won't be able to NATURALLY sustain everyone

[pronatalist]

To MissRustynails:

Pollution in the U.S. has been decreasing. Stated right on the cover of the paperback first edition of Julian Simon's book, The Ultimate Resource. How can this be? We have more people than ever. Because a swelling population is a huge factor in advancing technology, which in turn, over time, REDUCES pollution.

If everybody can't be "naturally" sustained, then use artificial methods also. The artificial is useful to better support our NATURAL increase.

Huger pop is wonderful!

[pronatalist]

To MissRustynails:

Can't humans even obey 1 of God's commandments? Since God commanded people to Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth, then what could possibly be wrong with Jesus returning as King of Kings and Lord of Lords, to find a world "bursting at the seams" with people? One reason I am so open to welcoming "all the children God gives," is because of faith, and to worship God, in accepting all of God's precious children he would give me.

Pop phobics don't want to solve problems?

[pronatalist]

It's cool and beautiful that the world is naturally coming alive with people, and like a progressing pregnancy, the world should be welcome to grow with people unhindered.

I have long advocated only population ACCOMODATION, never "control," as there's so many great compelling reasons for parents to have as many children as they do.

I detest shoddy Big Pharma contraceptive potions and poisons, not only are they unnatural and treat people like lab rats, but seek to prevent the flow of human life

[pronatalist]

The natural increase of humans is quite NATURAL and should always be welcomed, as more and more people would be glad to live.

Quite many people are prolife, and of course babies should always be welcome to push out just as fast as they come.

An important purpose of human life is to produce more human life. The natural conversion of relatively cheap organic matter or food into additional human beings, is just as natural and proper a process as most any other, say like breathing or eating.

[DerivedEnergy]

@pronatalist ''The natural increase of humans is quite NATURAL...''

So is pain, suffering, death, war, famine, exploitation and human hypocricy

''and should always be welcomed, as more and more people would be glad to live.''

And screw the people who see through this absurd and sick dna game that is being played! Thx..So we should populate the entire universe with human beings because we're so great! Poor planet Mars! How can it cope without any defecating and urinating apes on it? #sob#
