It's not about nobody living in Wyoming and that you didn't see anybody when you were driving to Vegas It's about not having enough resources to feed the entire population. Just a lack of resources if general.
No.Driving to Las Vegas and all i can see is 350 miles of open area. It's definitly too crowded in some areas.There's still alot of empty space to fill in this world.
Once you leave LV - you are in the desert - That's why they wanted to put the nuclear waste there - no one lives there.
Probably so. It's only because of recent advances in sanitation and medicine that allows such a high population now. Throughout most of human history, diseases and plagues have kept populations in check.
There will eventually come a point where 1 of 2 things will happens. Either population densities will become so high that modern sanitation habits, antibiotics, and antivirals aren't enough to overcome the spread of disease and several deadly pandemics will thin out the population. Or the resources of the planet will become depleted at an incredible rate and wars will result throughout the world fighting for whatever is left over.
I voted no and then when I looked at this site and found that the UN thinks the world can only sustain 500 million I wondered if I had been wrong. The most interesting thing is how they plan to get that huge 6 billion population down to that 500 million. Starvation will be used for the first 3 billion and then some more interesting way to get rid of most of the next 3 billion.
Watch this link and find out what they plan to do with us.
I am amazed that people even ask questions like these.
Anyone besides me notice that as the population of the earth increases so does life expectancy.
If we were overpopulating then we should be seeing a decrease in life expectancy. Not increases.
Plus, as we add more people the standard of living gets better.
And we've been going to run out of resources for thousands of years. Magically, it never happens.
You all should read Julian Simon. He was an economist at the University of Maryland.
He proved that population increases were and are beneficial to the earth and humans. And practically every environmental scare in the past 10,000 years has either never materialized or wasn't nearly as bad as predicted.

And if you didn't have higher populations in the first place you don't get advances in sanitation and medicine.
You need brain power to come up with these advances. That requires people. And lots of them.

This old over-population crap has been taken over by the Green Movement and they are using it for some of their propaganda.
I well remember studying the tales of the cooling people in 1977 who also said by this time the Earth would see all kinds of starvation going on. Nothing they predicted happened so they changed to warming and green.
The thing that bothers me most is that those people who were once red (communists) have become the Greens of today and so much of what they want is used to further the wants of the progressives. Not as complicated as it appears but not simple either.
