Overpopulation is a myth!

Overpopulation is not a thing to worry about people. Sure it seems bad right now but things will undoubtedly get better. Let me eplain how this will NOT be a problem to worry about.

So, in the 1700's before the Industrial Revolution women had lots of babies, about 6 - 8. So how come the population didn't sky rocket then? Simple, 4 - 6 children died before they reached adulthood which kept the population at a stand still.

But in the 100's at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution things changed. Women still had 6-8 children but now only 1-3 children died. Better sanitation, medicine processing, and agriculture helped with this effort. This started to increase the population drastically.

In the 1900's this process continued around the world affecting more and more countries, but some countries moved onto the third stage.

The third stage is where countries start to realize that women no longer need that many children so the birth rate decreases. So now the population growth slows and eventually halts. Only a few countries in 2018 have reached this goal like Japan and Germany where their population is actually decreasing.

The population will never hit 12 billion people. Food will be accessible through genetic engineering by making them grow faster, bigger, more resistant to insects, floods, and droughts.

But as technology advances more green energy and solutions for pollution will increase. So there's no reason to worry about the population, the thing you should be worrying about is the things you do to help the world around you.

And if history has showed us anything its that there'll be a big war eventually and population will drop even more. Sorry just had to rain on your parade.
