Will Earth ever over crowd?

The Earth won't over crowd because according to the Malthusian Doctrine, the availabilty of resources and war, famine, and disease will keep the population in check even though the brith rate rises as the death rate declines.

I can agree with that. The earth is changing. So many will not make it through but some will. \nLove & Light\nSharon\nOne Planet = One People

Because living forever would get boring! And there would be too many people on earth! Not enough space!

Depends where you look. We don't have records long enough to look at the statistics of earthwuakes for the whole of the Earth.\n\nHowever, over time, some areas become more active and some less so.

That depends on a lot of factors, including random supergiant meteors or human stupidity. But at the least, when the sun becomes a red giant (when the hydrogen in the inner core has all been converted to helium) in about 6 billion years, it will encompass the entire orbit of Mars. That pretty much suggests no hope for Earth beyond that point.

We still have a few billion more years before the sun supernovas. And technology is always increasing, ways to keep the environment clean are always appearing. As long as the people who want the world to end are kept at bay, it should be around for a while. Although there are plenty of cults and religions that are expecting it any day now.

The sun will expand and engolf the Earth before it explodes.  This means we will never watch the explosion, we would burn up first, but it is not going to happen in our lifetime.

Scientists say that in 5,000,000,000 years, the sun will suddenly expand, probably all the way to Earth's orbit.  Even if it doesn't come this far, we will be fried. Before then, humanity may end, but Earth will still be here.

It would be the greatest thing that ever happened in respect to religion all that bullshit of creationism and religious intolerance will be washed away. For that matter all forms of control on this planet will be destroyed. It will happen. People cant deny this forever.

The Earth is already living on borrowed time. Consider this:\n\nWe're overdue for an E.L.E.* caused by an earth-crossing asteroid.  Geologic evidence point to massive bombardments every 12 million years or so, the last big hit was about 11-12 million years.  It is not only highly probable, but an astromonical surety that someday we will again face this threat. Few people realize how many close calls we have had in that last couple of decades.\n\nThen there's the threat of emerging pandemic viruses that might wipe out a great majority of mankind.  Or a disease which bould wipe out our crops or food and animals.  There is the threat of ecological disaster, which the geological records shows happens in cycles of hundreds of thousands of years. We may be plunged into another Ice Age or face massive global warming.\n\nAnd lets not forget the destruction we bring on ourselves from nuclear weapons.  Guess how many times since 1950 that we've been a hair's breath away from utter destruction?  False alarms and warnings, and tensions number around 20+, and these are just the public ones we know about.  Even in post-Cold War era there was that 1995 incident in Russia, and i could go on.\n\nMy point is, the Universe is a hostile place and we have only scratched the surface of how improbable our continued existence is, according to the odds.  We have beaten the odds, but probability has a way of catching uyp to you.

*Shrug* Depends on your beliefs. Do you believe in God and an Apococlypse? Do you believe that the current state of affairs in the world is so f^#$ed up that we'll either blow ourselves to pieces, die of disease, over-population, crop failure, or poisoned water before our grandchildren are born? \n\nThe answer is we don't really know. It depends on how wise we become in the next few generations, and whether we (meaning, humanity) can get our enviormental pollution, war-mongering, and population growth under control. Hypothetically speaking our planet won't be destroyed until the sun becomes a red giant in approximately 4.5 to 5 billion years. So humanity, if it never developed space travel, could last that long. But unless major changes are made in the coming fifty to one hundred and fifty years, we may well be facing yet another mass extinction of life on earth (this wouldn't be the first major extinction...).

Well, I don't think I can convince you; you're apparently believing false information...but rest comfortable in knowing that the atmosphere is not deteriorating and nothing drastic is going to happen…during your lifetime.\n\nThat being said, eventually, the Earth (and its atmosphere) will wind down to a point where it won't sustain human life. That's the natural process, but we won't see it for several billions of years.\n\nHumans couldn't destroy the atmosphere or planet if we tried...even with nuclear weapons.\n\nOther people may answer with differing opinions, but their "evidence" is based on false science and anecdotal evidence and is designed to be alarmist. There's no rest for the weary!

Probably won't work.  If you assume 10 billion people with an average weight of 150 lbs, the mass of the earth is about 10,000,000,000,000 (10^13) times greater.  If everyone jumped up and down, even on the same side of the Earth, it wouldn't affect the earth's momentum or motion in it's orbit.  The acceleration applied by the mass of people is just too small.  Think of it as being in the 13th decimal place(0.0000000000001), it's essentially unnoticeable.

Im guessing that youre joking....\n\nBut the problem is, too many people share that sentiment. What if youre wrong? Do you really want to leave a legacy to your children that consists of a uninhabitable planet?? \n\nYou people have been predicting the end of the world for 2000 years. Youve been wrong so far. What if you continue to be wrong for another 2000 years??

NO.\nCould be end of times for humans but not for Earth.

If this trend of aliens is not decreased, the population will reach 400 million by 2050. How many people can America hold? \n\nand how will we feed them is a valid question who ever you directed this question to,  i would love to hear their answer instead of just your a racist

The world's population is following a very standard growth curve, which every population of animal follows.  It begins with a lag phase, then exponential growth, and then, as the species begins to reach equilibrium with what their environment can support, begins to level off.  We are just starting to level off - world population growth is slowing.  It is projected that the world will top out at 9-11 billion people.  This will not be an overcrowded situation - humans currently occupy only a tiny fraction of the planet.  Doubling that will not be a serious problem.\n\nThat being said, obviously there are limits to how many of us earth can sustain.  The biggest problem right now is that the birth rate is way too high in places that cannot support their population.  This problem will correct itself - it has to.
