SummaryThe author informs the problems of the affect of the increase in human population. He give us scientific proof and information, informing the reader on how much the world's population has changed since 1970 and now, also showing us estimated number of the human population from now a day to 250. Many developed countries may be growing slowly however the developing countries are rapidly growing due to the lack of education and the increase in disease. The author also explains how urbanization is going to be growing faster than ever taking over other animals habitat. In contrast the author informs the positive of the human population explaining that because of the number of younger adults has outnumber the number of the lder there education is higher and more advance leading a healthier lifestyle for the elder.

My opinionWhen reading this article it had taken me back to the activity we did in the beginning of the school year the ecological footprint, along with the question "if everyone had the same lifestyle as you do, how many worlds would we need?" after that activity I started to be more caution about the resource I used because i have in mind that there is only one earth, and ever since then i have started to try and use less resources and inform the people around me. While reading this article I fear for the future as in the future to this earth because there is a lot of science as a warning to the future problems the earth my have to face due to the population growing. I believe it may be hard to stop this problem who knows this may be the end of the world and know that is definitely scary to think about it in such way.
