The statistics can never be completely accurate, but it is predicted that this week the population on Earth will finally reach 7 billion. A spokesperson for United Leeds Endeavours comments, “I think it’s sometimes difficult to comprehend just how big a number it is.”
There is a lot of worry that our population is tumbling out of control “I think that the number took most of us at United Leeds Endeavours by surprise, but when you step back and think about it, the figures are not really that unexpected.”
“Without a doubt there are risks associated with rapid population growth – food and water shortages are the main concerns, it would be naïve to think otherwise.” On the whole though the number of children that people are having in the developed world is falling and it’s predicted that the same will happen, albeit more slowly, in the developing world as well.
The UN report has warned that the population could rise to 15 billion by 2100. “That certainly is a huge number. However, at United Leeds Endeavours we believe that rather than worrying about the number itself we should focus more on how we are going to deal with the problem. Our energy should be spent on finding renewable resources, developing food programmes, and ensuring clean water supplies for all.”
“At United Leeds Endeavours we’re sure that 100 years ago they wouldn’t have been able to comprehend how the Earth would have coped with 7 billion people. Yet we seem to be doing ok, surely because of technological advancements and greater awareness of the problem. It will probably be the same in 100 years from now.”
