Population facts on video, theory versus reality.
Overpopulation does not depend only on the size or density of the population, but on the ratio of population to available sustainable resources i.e. roads.

The Population Counter comes from http://www.poodwaddle.com/worldclock.swf

Human population growth rate in percent, with the variables of births, deaths, immigration, and emigration - 2006
Overpopulation is a condition where an organism's numbers exceed the carrying capacity of its habitat. In common parlance, the term usually refers to the relationship between the human population and its environment, the Earth and the highways on the earth.


It also depends on the means of resources used and distributed throughout the population. If a given environment has a population of 10 individuals, but there is food or drinking water enough for only 9, then in a closed system where no trade is possible, that environment is overpopulated; if the population is 100 but there is enough food, shelter, and water for 200 for the indefinite future, then it is not overpopulated. Overpopulation can result from an increase in births, a decline in mortality rates due to medical advances, from an increase in immigration, or from an unsustainable biome and depletion of resources. It is possible for very sparsely-populated areas to be overpopulated, as the area in question may have a meager or non-existent capability to sustain human life (e.g. the middle of the Sahara Desert or Desert areas of Texas).

The resources to be considered when evaluating whether an ecological niche is overpopulated include clean water, clean air, food, shelter, warmth, and other resources necessary to sustain life. If the quality of human life is addressed, there may be additional resources considered, such as medical care, education, proper sewage treatment and waste disposal. Overpopulation places competitive stress on the basic life sustaining resources, leading to a diminished quality of life.

If resources required to sustain the organism are being consumed by the organism faster than the resource can be renewed, then the organism is overpopulated. For example, humans are destroying topsoil and consuming fossil fuels much faster than the planet can renew them and those resources are currently required to produce and distribute the necessary quantity of food to feed the population and the roads needed for travel, and therefore humans are overpopulated on Earth.

  • I like ya buddy but you're way off on this video. You say "I only care about humans and thats what matters to sustain" yet you are forgetting the earth is a delicate balance. All animals play a part, even down to microscopic organisms such as the ones in the oceans that supply the world with most of its oxygen supply (thats right, not trees, but microscopic organisms that convert CD to Oxygen look it up). Once you start taking out links of the chain, it chain reacts to all of the eco system.

  • @Deadflesh1666 Listen you ignorant fuck, Truckertwotimes is not the one talking you moron. It is an upload from another site. And it wouldn't be a problem if the "mexicans" helped get the tomatos to the store if the tomato came from Mexico, but when they come from America, maybe an American should be the one picking it. People like you and our foreign relations with Mexico make me sad when I think that I risk my life to protect that shit to.

  • racist whore against mexicans. the next time you eat a tomato think who help get it to your local produce store faggot

  • google "peak oil" and olduvai theory. pretty sums much of it.
