How much room the entire world population would take up if standing side by side

We have this thing called the price system, when stuff gets scarce, the price goes up accordingly. It works really well.

Overconsumption is a line peddled by modern day Luddites who would have us return to a more primitive lifestyle.

 

Well, they were the ones who forcefully pushed the various indigenous people around the world from their life of being closer to nature to our current setup and because of the resource-intensive lifestyle we now live, the Earth is being raped at an alarming rate. That said, they may be the reason we changed but that doesn't mean we shouldn't change our ways to avoid destroying ourselves.

No matter whose fault it is, overpopulation is not a myth and while it's not a problem yet, it will be if the current birth rate to death rate ratio continues to climb.

Just wait till the price of EVERTHING goes up. Things will get so scary that I Am Legend from 2007 will seem like a chick flick.

 

By the way, that whole not liking Wikipedia statement is a cop out. Everyone knows it's not very reliable but it's still a source of general information and I didn't even say read anything off of it but instead look at the graphic on the side of the page. It speaks for itself.

Do they have population curve that doesn't go back 12,000 years? I'd love to see one that's like 2000 years maybe so it's easier to see.. Right now its just flat and then a 3 pixel wide spike at the end.
