Well, I can still get lost for days in the Mexican desert with no stores or villages around....so as long as that can happen somewhere, no we are not overcrowded.

Calm down, grandpa.

I simply asked a question. Did not ask for suggestions or offered one.

Individual countries and cities could be considered overpopulated, but as a whole, I would say that the world is not overpopulated.

Yes, extremely overpopulated. Imagine the world being over 100 billion.

Population needs to be redistributed, as opposed to reduced.
We have 21 million in this country, while look at India with over 1 billion in a smaller area.
Appropriate immigration and resettling is what is required.

57 million square miles on the planet earth not including the water, and approx. 6.8 billion people on the planet equals out to about 119 people per square mile.

how is 119 people per square mile overpopulated?
