“I would be absolutely amazed if population growth, industrialization and everything we are pumping into the atmosphere had not changed the climate balance. Of course it is. There is no valid argument to deny.” -David AttenboroughThere has been an increasing trend established with population growth seen in hunger, war and pollution: they are all increasing. The earth's population is expected to rise to nine billion by 2050 and to ten billion by 2100. One can only assume that along with the increase in population, more and more people will go hungry, more countries will go to war, and the population will decline. the tallest the world has ever seen. Pollution, hunger and war have no exact date when they started. We know, however, that these are concepts observed in humans and can date back to the beginning of man, approximately 200,000 years ago. As the number of people increases, waste and hazardous waste released into the atmosphere increases, divergent opinions increase, and there is not enough food to feed everyone. Pollution, wars and hunger are caused by a high global population. As the population increases, wars will also increase. One of the main causes of war is very different opinions, such as religion and cultural beliefs. A greater number of people will lead to a greater amount of different opinions on such topics, thus increasing war. You can take the Korean War as an example. North Korea was a communist country, which sought to force South Korea to acquire the same form of government. South Korea, which clearly did not agree, retaliated. Another great example is the Philippines. They were controlled by Spain for 334 years, until the United States took control of them in 1898 in the Spanish-American War. A year later, the... middle of paper... again had a stomach ache from being too full in stark contrast to the stomach ache of someone who didn't have enough. It seems that as our brains continue to evolve and we become smarter, one thing remains the same: our willingness to do as little as possible. Works Cited "David Attenborough". BrainyQuote.com.
