              For most of Human history ,up to around 10 thousand years ago .Human population on the Earth remind at 10 millions  to 11 millions .Since it's population has grown to 6.2 billions in the present time .The problem that Human going to face caused by Overpopulation has being huger.Pollution ....we can not avoid them anymore.

        In the History ,Huge human population increase rashly most of them occurs in the recent few decades .Human population in the 60 years period from 1900-1960 .It double (roughly)in the 40 years period from 1960 to 2000,it increase by 3041 millions .Then you can see Earth is changing right now .
               The main reasons that we tries to control Earth's human population growing because lot amount of  Human population could makes Earthworse and worse :More crow ,more pollution .......they build house and deforestation.They keeps using  lot number of land ,gas tree and much more resourses.Some of them will  extincted within 50 years .''What should we do if there are no more resource for we to use.Most of   these  problems occurs in China and India in pats few decades .China has planed to controlled birth rate but over pollution also going to harm these two countries .Shortage of water ,Acid Rain and over mining are putting both countries in huge dangerous situation .
            Right now ,Some of  countries have to managed to increased their carrying capacity by using technologies such as modern agriculture ,Desalination and nuclear.Some of people thinks that more populating can lead to more technological innovation that lead improve our living  standard but most of them see ''Overpopulation as a problem.
            As you can see overpopulation is big problems human ever face .Wake up!!!!!!Human!!!!!!Start-es to cherish your environment .please leaders in those countries started to controlled population ,otherwise,the Earth will no longer beautiful.

Amazing Post!!

Dear Hai Ling:
I am very interested by your post: “Overpopulation,” because that is a problem that is occurring throughout the world. The Earth has a certain amount of resources to sustain a certain amount of people. Carrying Capacity is the word, that tells how much the earth or anything can hold. For the earth there is more than billions of people living on the Earth, and not enough resources. Population growth is not easy to control since the population of humans grow exponentially, and the population of animals has decreased a lot.
One sentence that you wrote that stands out for me is: “ The main reasons that we tries to control Earth's human population growing because lot amount of Human population could makes Earth worse and worse.” There is not enough resources to help all the people on the Earth. As the population increases forests are being destroyed to build new homes. As businesses grew also more room needed to be made creating the destruction of many animal habitats. There has been a lot of destruction for the defense of the human beings, but all that destruction is leading to a scarcity of of resources for our survival.
Another sentence that I agreed with was: “ Some of people thinks that more populating can lead to more technological innovation that lead improve our living standard but most of them see ''Overpopulation as a problem.” Many people believe that since the Earth is so big that it will never run out of resources, but that is a lie. The Earth has a lot of nonrenewable resources, but alternative energy resources also. The resources will soon run out leaving even more people without either homes or food. It is difficult to sustain and help everybody on the Earth, but the population growth is causing a lot of problems.
I do agree with you on the fact that Overpopulation should be controlled. In China people are required to have one child per family preferably male. I’m not saying for the same thing to be done in the United States, but people need to control the amount of children they have. Most people have 4 or 5 children because they believe the government will give them money for each child. That has caused a lot of trouble, but it is mostly for those people who immigrate into the country, and need citizenship.
Thanks for your writing. I am look forward to seeing what you write next because this is an issue that not a lot of people are interested in. It is difficult to control the world’s population, but it must be controlled somehow. Immigration rates have increased, and more children are being born by the minute. There has to be some control before the resources run out.

hello hchen, I have thought

hello hchen, I have thought of this topic before but I never went into dental about it. I think the world is getting overpopulated as well. You made a good point when you talked about the human waste and pollution. Good jod.
