What is going to happen with our trends later? Will the trends change? What is going to happen to Earth?]]> 2016-12-08 15:14:13 UTC https://padlet.com/rkjellsen/fp4qzmaiqlyi/wish/142570638 https://padlet.com/rkjellsen/fp4qzmaiqlyi/wish/142570737 It is important to understand population trends because our world is growing very wuickly and we need to understand how we can care for the future generations. 

Populations grow when more people are born and not enough people die to cancel out and keep a steady population.

We have enough space for people to live, but we do not have enough resources to support people. If we do not have enough resources, then many people will face health problems.]]> 2016-12-08 15:14:24 UTC https://padlet.com/rkjellsen/fp4qzmaiqlyi/wish/142570737 https://padlet.com/rkjellsen/fp4qzmaiqlyi/wish/142571064 It is important to understand population trends if we understand how our population is growing we can ]]> 2016-12-08 15:15:09 UTC https://padlet.com/rkjellsen/fp4qzmaiqlyi/wish/142571064 https://padlet.com/rkjellsen/fp4qzmaiqlyi/wish/142571336 It is important to understand population trends because people need appropriate resources to have acceptable living priorities.

As Earth's population grows exponentially we'll eventually run out of resources to support them, causing mass destitution. 

Populations grow when one family has multiple children who then exponentially grow.

There will be mass poverty and famine as we won't have enough resources to support all of the population. ]]> 2016-12-08 16:48:47 UTC https://padlet.com/rkjellsen/fp4qzmaiqlyi/wish/142607326 https://padlet.com/rkjellsen/fp4qzmaiqlyi/wish/142607694 It is important to understand population trends because we can use them to predict if the world will be able to support all the people on it in future years.

Populations grow because women are having lots of babies.

If there is no longer enough space for more people on Earth, lots of people will die because their will not be enough resources. ]]> 2016-12-08 16:49:45 UTC https://padlet.com/rkjellsen/fp4qzmaiqlyi/wish/142607694 https://padlet.com/rkjellsen/fp4qzmaiqlyi/wish/142607772 Population trends are important because it helps us understand how much the world expands, and how much resources everyone is using in the world.]]> 2016-12-08 16:49:57 UTC https://padlet.com/rkjellsen/fp4qzmaiqlyi/wish/142607772 https://padlet.com/rkjellsen/fp4qzmaiqlyi/wish/142609443  It is important to understand population trends because population projections can alert policymakers to major trends that may affect economic development and help policymakers. ]]> 2016-12-08 16:53:43 UTC https://padlet.com/rkjellsen/fp4qzmaiqlyi/wish/142609443
