That's frightening but true, I am glad i am in a good company here, 8 billion? I heard only 6 or 7 billion no wonder though it could increase this big anytime. The main thing is that it could accommodate more than 7 billions even, only if we could be more responsible and careful to our home

Resources needed to support so many people are harder and more expensive to get as time passes and costs increase. As we add more people, the need for more resources increases, adding to the supply problem. The result will be that there will be a decrease per capita in the supplies available. Those shortages always affect the poorest people first.
The usual response when that is mentioned is, "Oh, we will find a way to avoid that. We always have."-
Maybe not this time.
I was busy with my studies so I couldn't really get back to you on time @willymac I hope that's fine with you :)
That's true, we need to increase resources and control the world's population. I agree to what you have said here.
We should always prepare for the worst and hope for the best , we shouldn't take anything light and should always be focused and prepared in advance. We are on same page :)
I understand not being able to spend more time on Steemit. I am under the same schedule limitations with other non-computer things that must be done.
Increasing resources is hard to do. Petroleum is harder to find, deeper down, in smaller quantities, and more expensive to extract. Easily mined resources are being exhausted and are more expensive to get to. Climate changes affect growing conditions, reduce crop yields, and require new land to be taken for farmland, doing more environmental damage. It getting to be an increasingly difficult problem. Still, no one wants to consider slowing population growth to decrease demand.
Interesting, is it not?
