Here are some interesting facts a bit off the subject. I hope you enjoy -- Is the earth overpopulated?
I did the math and discovered that, if all 7 billion people on the earth right now were herded into the borders of just the continental USA, not counting Alaska, Mexico or Canada, each person could have 1/4 acre of farm-able land. Each family of 4 would have at least an acre of cultivatable land, not mountain or arid desert, all within the continental USA and the rest of the globe would be empty of any people at all. You can do the math.

says in 2025 the population will be 10 million giving 2 square miles
per person? That's a lot of land for one person to have to cultivate. 19
Million people residing in the greater New York area would give up 38
million square miles of land to reside in an area about 302.8 sq.
miles. That's quite a trade-off. Then consider all the heavily
populated areas in the world with similar population/land exchanges.
According to one report found through Google: I did the math and discovered that, if all 7 billion people on the earth right now were herded into the borders of just the continental USA, not counting Alaska, Mexico or Canada, each person could have 1/4 acre of farm-able land. Each family of 4 would have at least an acre of cultivatable land, not mountain or arid desert, all within the continental USA and the rest of the globe would be empty of any people at all. You can do the math.
• Washington, D.C., will attain a metropolitan population of precisely 5.75 million on Jan. 28, 2012. That is a trade of 61 (or 68) populated sq.miles for 11.5 million vacant sq. miles
• Miami-Fort Lauderdale will climb to 5,660,000 on Jan. 30, 1012. That is 6,137 sq. miles traded for 11,320 million sq.m. Each person still has .6939 acre. Over a half acre per person! In Miami, FL!! . A nice trade for the world "overpopulation" problem.
• Houston will hit exactly 6.2 million on Feb. 6. 2012, trading 12.4 million sq.mi. for 599.6 sq.mi or 1/4 acre per family of 4. That's not bad. (http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/48/4835000.html).
Then there is Asia, Europe, India, Australia, Africa. The world is anything but terribly over-populated although some densely packed metropolitan areas might be considered so. However when 2025 comes around and there are 10 billion people on the earth North America alone will be capable of comfortably housing and feeding the entire population and leaving the rest of the earth empty of human population. But it won't be empty. Nowhere near empty.
You can do the math.
Then relax. There is enough for all and enough to share.
Thank God.
The Over-population is not the problem. The problems are the human evils, the fraud masters , the scammers and the dishonest artists. The worst of those scam/con artists are those who mislead others under the name of the LORD. The ibom scammers/ the Bougainville scammers, the Irene and Roger Renaud and their hidden King are the best example of those.
