How many
humans
have place on the earth?
With an appropriate, modest life-style humans need 2 - 3 hectar
habitat. The earth has altogether a surface of ecologically productive
country world-wide from approximately 9 billion hectar. Under these
conditions the number of people which have place on earth will be 3 to
maximally 4.5 billion. With the today's more than 6 billion humans each
person has room to live only less than 1.5 hectars.
By the present conditions this life area between the different
countries (industrie and developing countries) is unevenly distributed.
The energy consumption is converted into the land surface that people need
for it. This “ecological footprint” of humans amounts to an average
standard of living is in the year 2008 in India 0.9 hectars, in China 2.1 hectars,
with a European level 4-5.3 hectars and with the USA prosperity 9.4 hectars. Thereby you must remember that
India and China the most populous countries have an enormous growing of living standard.
(To compare here the facts
of the year 1999: India 0.4 hectars, Europe 3-4 hectars and the
USA 5.1 hectars;
and of the year 2002: India 0.7 hectars, China 1.6 hectars, Europe 4.7 hectars and the
USA 9.7 hectars ).
These facts show clearly, a further growth of the population of our
world on the today's level (296 billion humans in the year 2150, see above)
leads inevitably into a disaster. Only with an intensified family
planning (in particular with the pill) a rapid lowering of the growth
rates is possible. In many parts of the earth a large uncovered demand
for family planning exists. ("The pill is the best pill.")
The attitude of the catholic church in addition is surely no help. It is
rather the opposite
(See: "Also a Pope
may be wrong !"). and "Pope Benedikt XVI. - The beginning of the end of catholicism?").
Note
from 27.02.2007:
The discussion of the climatic change in the last time
you must also see with a view to the world population. Because the
increased CO2 emission stands in direct correlation to the population
of the world, since it is produced by us humans.
