OVERPOPULATION DEFINED BY UN
I went onto the United Nations website itself looking for something about human overpopulation. Guess what I found? It was a definition of the term! This is ridiculous. They aren’t bothering with this topic at all!…..Stephanie Fox
| Term | Overpopulation |
| Description | exceeding of certain threshold limits of population density when environmental resources fail to meet the requirements of individual organisms regarding shelter, nutrition and so forth. It gives rise to high rates of mortality and morbidity. See also carrying capacity. |

The Elephant In The Room
Looking past the near-term concerns that have plagued population policy at the political level, it is increasingly apparent that the long-term sustainability of civilization will require not just a leveling-off of human numbers as projected over the coming half-century, but a colossal reduction in both population and consumption. Carbon Dioxide emissions are largely the result of human activity. Human consumption is a function of lifestyle and numbers.
