Can the earth support 10 billion people by the year 2050 or 15 billion people by year 2100? People say 50 years or 100 years from now earth resources will be running low.
From what I understand , whe hardly have enough food and water to go around for everyone never mind 10 billion people or 15 billion people.
There is shortage of water,food and other resources like wood and copper and mantle? It will be worse in 50 years or 100 years from now?
Well oil and gas will probaly run out by 2050 , getting really costly now.
Like rabbits, we respond to changing conditions during hard times. Rabbits have a lower reproductive rate, we have wars. Both are effective at reducing the population.

After you read Thomas Malthus, you should give Friedrich Engels a try as well.
One of Thomas Malthus's only decent quotes:
The finest minds seem to be formed rather by efforts at original thinking, by endeavours to form new combinations, and to discover new truths, than by passively receiving the impressions of other men's ideas.
and Reverend Thomas Mathus I'd like to introduce you to Norman Borlaug.

When the oil & gas run out, there'll be
a big die off, since petro farming is largely responsible for the population explosion anyway.
That's a really silly statement. Technological advances will continue to expand our production of food.
