1. & 2. Yes, the world is partially in a population crisis as while the birth rates are leveling out in developed countries, they are still way too high in poorer countries. This exponential growth will further decrease the standard of living in poor countries, as well as consume the world's resources at a much faster rate than what would be preferred. Because of this, the sustainability of Earth will be greatly shortened.

3. To create a more sustainable future Earth, an action that should be taken is to try to educate those in countries with very high birth rates (4+) about the drawbacks of having so many children, so that the exponential population growth is slowed down to a more manageable amount.

1. Yes the world is in a population crisis. More humans equal more pollution. Thought it is helping the economy, it is also breaking the world every day.

2. Overpopulation is a big issue that is concerning some countries. As it affects the atmosphere, losing animal habitats, water pollution, etc.

3. Decrease the greenhouse gas emissions.

# data[].attributes.body
The world is overly populated and it is a problem

# data[].attributes.body
1. Yes
2. Yes it will cause environmental issues and other social and political issues in our society
3. We should introduce a global population control like china's one child policy.

1) Yes, I belive there is only so much space on Earth, not to mention only so many resources – food, water and energy – that can support a human population. So a growing human population must pose some kind of a threat to the wellbeing of planet Earth.

2) Overpopulation affects sustainability as it poses  environmental issues, silently aggravating the forces behind global warming, environmental pollution, and habitat loss.

3) Decrease the use emissions that we let into the air.

I do not believe that the Earth is overpopulated because there are portions of land in which no one lives. For instance the population of Canada is around 40 million people although this country might actually host a greater number of individuals. As stated in the article, the problem is the consumption of goods and production of greenhouse gases that is causing big troubles. In case the number of individuals will become extremely large, Governments should finance an international association whose duty would be to monitor the equal distribution of people in the planet and the use of goods and substances that should be used in a sustanaible way.

No, earth is not in a population crisis. When managed effectively, earth is perfectly able to support its growing population. Economies and urban centres just need to find a way to function in more environmentally conscious ways. If we minimize our consumption of resources then population growth presents no real challenge. Plus, population growth is a natural phenomenon- you can't just stop it.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes earth has a population crisis however it isn’t necessarily a bad thing and limited resources = no more room for growth off pop

Over population is not the issue! The issue is CAPITALISM, and overly unsustainable consumption.

1. Yes

1. Yes I believe that the earths population is in crisis. We are running out of space and resources on the planet. Many countries around the world are already over populated as it is and sooner rather than later we will run out of either resources or space and we wont be able to sustain the growing populous.

2. The overpopulation will effect the sustainability of the Earth in ways such as climate change. Global warming is already an issue as it is and as more people are brought into the world the issue becomes more prominent. Also resources are going to become an issue we wont have enough resources to sustain the growing population. There will be a limiting factor when it comes to resources and that factor will become more prominent as the population grows.

3. I think initiatives should be taken to lower the amount of children in families but it shouldn’t be law it should be more as a suggestion to have a certain amount of children. There should be lots of active research into finding a new planet that is capable of sustaining life as crazy as that sounds. Even if that planet is used for growing crops and more resources for our survival on Earth. Lastly the world needs to make a real effort at stoping global warming because of the real harm it is causing.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Yes

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, there is a population problem. This overpopulation will result in lack of reasources and the destruction of the environment

# data[].attributes.body
1. Yes as the population continues to grow throughout the world as the resources continue to get depleted.
2. With limited resources the Earth might reach a point where it is no longer able to provide life to the growing population.
3. Attempt to find another planet to sustain our needs.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes earth is in a population crisis however it isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Most future population growth is thought to take place in urban centres in middle - low income countries. This means the impact of gaining several billion people may be very small. People living in these areas have historically consumed little.

CO2 emissions will increase.

People should try to be more environmentally conscious. Driving less and being less wasteful can make space for the extra pollution that comes with population growth.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes the earth is in a population crisis. If you know anything about ecology you know that every species has a carrying capacity that the ecosystem can sustain. If the population goes over the carrying capacity species begin to die off due to disease and other density dependent factors. People also have a carrying capacity that the earth can sustain however, we keep finding a way around it because of the evaluation of medicine and technology.

Yes earth has a population crisis however it isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Most future population growth is thought to happen within

1. I do believe the Earth is in a population crisis, many countries in more of a detreimental state than other. Many countries are unable to function due to the overcrowding and high population densities and my people are jobless, and are under brutal living conditions.

2. The Earth’s population increase will definitely effect the sustainibility of our planet. Many resources will become limited or unavailable due to so many individuals thriving for the same products. Competition will definitely become an issue over individuals competing for jobs, property as well as resources and our planet will not be as easily capable of accommodating all of these humans.

3. Steps to create a more sustainable future can include putting limits on resources for individuals in order to preserve what we do have on our planet.

Since we have limited resources the Earth would no longer be able to hold life for the growing population. The resources will seize to exist.

# data[].attributes.body
The Earth has limited amount of space and resources for us to live, if overpopulation keeps growing at a rapid pace the Earth will not be able to provide for all of us

Yes earth has a population crisis but it is not necessarily a bad thing

# data[].attributes.body
1. There is a crisis that is

# data[].attributes.body
Yes there is, the earth has limited resources so with the growing population the majority of the world population will have no access to basic human needs.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Yes there is a crisis. The Earth can only produce a limited amount of water and food, which is falling short of the current needs. Most of the environmental damage being seen in the past years is because of the growing number of people on the planet.
2. Overpopulation is associated with negative environmental outcomes ranging from the impacts of over-farming, deforestation, water pollution and global warming.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes

# data[].attributes.body
1. Yes, there is a population crisis.
2. Over population would result in depleting resources such as agriculture, further contribution to climate change.
3. In our opinion, over population can be reduced with education, planning demographics, free access to contraceptives and birth control.
