What considerations must be taken into account when classifying overpopulation on a global scale?
What I mean is how is it difficult to base overpopulation on the definition that it is when the population exceeds natural resources, for example one answer I thought of was that there are different amounts of the natural resources we need, e.g. there's more water than oil but we use both. I know this sounds a bit confusing, I struggled to figure out how to say it but any ideas would be great. Thanks.
Answers:
First you would have to order resources into what we most need compared to their availability and renewableness. I would say that when considering resources such as oil it's over-consuption you are considering, not overpopulation, but I guess thats up to how you define how we 'should' live.
Over population on a Global scale is regulated by World Wars, Despotism and Desease. Therefore WE will run out before the resources do !
I think the word overpopulation is already too subjective. I would suggest that you try to look at it as objectively as possible. For example, don't automatically assume that more people is bad, and that using any resource is over-using it. If the environment can sustain people that are reasonably healthy, that should be the only criteria. Everything else is just too subjective IMO.
