Even if the world were overpopulated there is very little that you could do about it.
For example the fastest growing populations on this planet are Muslim.
Many Muslims believe that it is their duty to have very large families so that the number of Muslims will soon be much greater than those of any other religion.
If you were to try to control the Muslim populations, that would be an act of war.
If you tried to control the Muslim populations you would probably start World War III. 22% 2 Votes
and its making global warming even worse
there are not enough resources to supply the needs of so many people
in the future (sadly to say) we are going to be fighting for resources such as water
unless we change our way of life
which most people aren%26#039;t willing to do 0% 0 Votes
many people object when you talk about over population.
Also North America is not the most affected ,but many other third world countries and small countries in Europe are.
Overpopulation sure has a chain of effects which are all interrelated and heavily tax the system
People use and need land,so more and more is being changed to accommodate human growth and development
The necessary flora ,which permits life as we know it, is disappearing.
Eco-systems are being exchanged for desserts , concrete or roads.
World population has doubled in the last 50 years exceeding the growth of 4 million years (since we became homo Sapiens).
To satisfy the growing demand farmers are cultivating unstable lands , too steep or dry to be sustainable.
Mono cultures ,aided by chemicals Exhaust and pollutes the soil .
Adding to this the effects of overgrazing has resulted in large scale desertification.
Each year billions of tons of topsoil are blown or washed away by storms.
Over the last half century,
Population growth %26amp; rising incomes have tripled world grain demand from 640 million tons to 1,855 million
In the near future the global farming community will not be able to feed every body ,food prices will continue to rise.

NATURES POINT OF VIEW
In Nature exists such a thing as the law of Harmony and Equilibrium
Animals have lots of young when there is plenty of food ,and have little or none when the conditions are bad
when there is a plague of rabbits ,many foxes are born,
when there is no game lions ,and other predators have few cubs.
plants do roughly the same
All follow the LAW OF NATURE OF EQUILIBRIUM
everybody is welcome ,but nobody in excess.
we must co-exist on this planet and limit our numbers to our resources
All of Nature obeys these LAWS,but Humans put themselves above the LAW,and have bred themselves into a plague
It is a miracle that Nature has allowed us to get this far.
Everything else is set upon by plagues ,disease or predators ,when they exceed their allotted quantity,or there are Natural disasters .
There are two moments in the existence of a specie when extinction is likely,
when there are two few
And when there are too many.

PEOPLE
However population control has always been a very sensitive issue Because people get get very nervous when you go below the belt
Mans sexuality and very often how many kids hes got is proof of his masculinity and insurance for old age
with many possible incomes to assist him when he himself cannot work any more
the second point is HOW do we ethically control populations
poor areas with less education DEMONSTRATE THE HIGHEST NUMBERS OF TEEN AGE PREGNANCIES,
educated women have less children
But uneducated populations are more religious and more resistant to birth control.
to forcibly control populations is frowned upon to say the least
--------------------------------------...
Population control in the past and present
at a meeting in Kopenhagen in 1998 it was suggested to bring the world population down by 60%,one cannot help but wonder at how this would be archieved
War (past .present and future)
Natures way disease(today,past and future)
Manufactured disease(suspected today)
cures that kill(suspected today)
poisoned consumer goods (suspected today)
making children infertile or gay,by raising the PH level in drinking water or even drinks (suspected today)
birth control,
Some Native peoples have always been aware of this
to limit the tribes number to as many as the tribe can afford to feed
in the past the Olmecs women ate yams to make them infertile,
Amazonian tribes have strict sexual rites that limit copulation in the conventional way.
And there were central Americans who sacrificed their excess children to the Gods
Today we have several methods but most reach only the educated ,i handed out condoms to an native Mazatecca comunity in Oaxaca ,and the church retrieved them all )
education on birth control(not enough,again the poor regions are excluded )
there are the strong methods such as in China with laws that limit childbirth per family.
Also a horrible concept.

--------------------------------------...
In the Netherlands after the war families were encouraged
to have few children because it is such a small country
not much bigger than Mexico city,
so it was physically impossible to fit a lot of people into the country ,There people can understand the concept of birth control,
But in larger countries many think of the family ,not the society as a whole
