Global warming - over population

At the moment the worlds population is around 7.4 billion people and it is increasing every second. There is also over double the amount of people born each day then the amount of people who die. It shows how the world population is continually increasing.

History:

Since the Bubonic plague in. The 1400's the world's population has been on a constant increase. As you can see from this graph the population is constantly increasing and it doesn't show any signs of stoping.




Problems:
There is many problems with having to much over population. For example...
. Not enough homes
. Not enough jobs
. Not enough food and water
. Extinction of species
. Increase in crime rates
. Lower life expectancy in the fastest growing countries
. Reduction in natural resources (e.g. Trees, petrol, metal)

"The largest single threat to the ecology and biodiversity of the planet in the decades to come will be global climate disruption due to the build-up of human-generated greenhouse gases in the atmosphere." - The Centre for Biological Diversity

This goes to show that if we increase the worlds population then our human made gases will cause the earth to die so we need to reduce the population as much as possible. This relates to the play Earthquakes in London as Robert believes in these facts and convince Freya to get rid of her unborn child because of these facts.
