Over population is a serious threat to the future and prosperity of the human race, more than any other global problem this one will bring not only the most demeaning affects but also the in the most numerous forms.

One study shows that even if the worlds population were four times the size it is today (that is by assuming at some point there is a limit placed on the number of children a family will have,) fossil fuels would be gone by the year three thousand. Now, if that limit is never pit on the number of children a family can produce the remaining fossil fuels on this planet will be gone in about a third of that time (Starr, 3). Fossil Fuels are the primary source of energy on earth, when they are gone, this planet will not have the energy to live the life and function the way it does now. As long as the...
