(7/7) BBC Horizon: How Many People Can Live On Planet Earth?

Hosted by David Attenborough.
Only 50 years ago the world population was about 2,5 billion. In the last 50 years we managed to get 7 billion on this tiny planet, a staggering increase by almost 300%. Recent studies show that in this rate we will exceed 20 or even 30 billion in the next 40 years and that basically means we run out of water, food and oil.

It's a pity that only few people watch videos like this.

@Theprinceofponeage I think your missing the point which is resources are finite and the human race is growing exponentially these two facts left unchecked or ignored altogether will spell doom for mankind

[BloodCellBleed]

This documentary, also does not take into consideration the flaws of a Market Based Economy.

[Theprinceofponeage]

The rate of technological inovation is not being properly accounted for in this documentary. Resources are also not as finite as they are being presented.
