      • while at the same time increased access to medical technologies reduce infant deaths and increase the average age at which people die, leading to population growth. The increased demand for resources during this transition period is significant and the future demand for resources by countries that will experience their demographic transition in the future are enormous. The future demand for resources and current elimination of resources will have a major impact on the ability of future generations ability to meet their resource requirements, they may not have access to resources we utilize today. We are currently over exploiting resources to meet demand, resulting in a global biodiversity crisis. Combine that with the effects of anthropogenic climate change and the stability of future populations may be much less than that of current and immediate generations. This video leaves out a lot of information, it is oversimplified, focusing almost exclusively on food production and populatio

      • While it's true that we have not yet reached our crisis point and as our populations have increased, we have increased our ability to produce more food, the issue is not solely about food. Our population number has passed the point in which current and foreseeable technologies and practices allow sustainable resources utilization. As a global population, we are consuming 50% more resources than the planet can sustainably provide. Most population growth is occurring in less developed countries that have not yet or are currently experienced their demographic transition. Annual births in countries going through or yet to go through a demographic transition more than make up for population drops in countries such as the United States, they exceed these population drops. Fertility rates are largely determined by culture, economic status and education, as developing countries become more economically stable and educated, it takes a significant period of time before birth rates slow, while at

      • I understand how it can be initially shocking upon waking up, but how can she just sit there screaming? At least examine the damn thing to find out what it is.

      • Plate tectonics and biological evolution are related in the sense that plate tectonics is a driving force of biological evolution. Plate tectonics results in climatic change, geographic change, populations separations, etc. The fossil record and current species distributions are evidence of this.
