Pictures That Show The World Is Too Crowded
Is overpopulation a problem?
By 2100, the world’s population is expected to reach 11 billion people.
As of today, we’re at 7.09 billion and counting, according to the U.S. Census World Clock.
Whether you agree or disagree, overpopulation has become a major challenge and concern for countries around the world.
This collection of pictures from Reuters shows just how overpopulated certain parts of the world currently are.
From beaches to subway cars, cramped and sweaty bodies are just a part of life.

Europe from space at night, with Britain and Holland among the most densely populated areas in the world.

Every country needs to develop a plan to balance its population with its resources; food, water, energy and jobs. Those that do not will be exporting their people and their problems.

Makes me glad I live in the Midwest. I had a European friend come over (he was from Belgium) and visit with us. He was astonished how much room and space there was (he said the town was covered in trees) and yet we considered it to be crowded!

I remember reading sci-fi novels many years ago about a future population explosion. Guess it was non-fiction, here we are.

socrates1fan, that is why in the end the conditions for North America are not bad at all, probably the best of all.
But first the modern globalist NWO politician needs to go as well as the banksters.

I remember when I was young, I saw the movie “Soylent Green”. Their view of the future scared me to death. Are we heading there ?(overpopulation, lack of food, dead oceans, simmering temperature, desperation, people going to terminate their lives, … etc)

In the United States, population growth is not seen as a problem. To the contrary, the United States – the greatest country in the world as is so often trumpeted – feels that population growth is part of the solution.

Interesting picture of the Philippines. Funny that I have never seen a crowd like that at any of the LRT (Light Rail Transport) stations. That may have been a rush hour exception or maybe a day that part of the city streets were flooded from a typhoon? Or perhaps after some huge event?
Granted, over a half million people come into the city everyday to work, but there are also thousands of buses, jeepneys, taxis, trikes, etc. And, yes, traffic is bad all day, but it is Manila. Ten miles outside Manila, it is farmland and forest. Most of the area between Manila and our farm is sparsely inhabited. THAT is why I see the cities dying in the near future and not just Manila. The people here will just go back to their families in the countryside. Where will the people in New York City or L.A. go?

Kenz300, it looks as though every country SHOULD have developed a plan to balance its population with its resources; food, water, energy and jobs. All I can see is obscene overshoot in these pictures.
