Human Population Growth
The document discusses the concepts of population growth, including demographic factors like birth and death rates, migration, and the influences of social, economic, and environmental conditions on population dynamics. It also highlights the disparities between developed and developing countries, the challenges of urbanization, and the significant role of women's education and family planning in controlling fertility rates. Additionally, it addresses the issues of megacities, population density, and the wealth gap impacting population health and societal tensions.

Editor's Notes
- #2 The human population continues to grow rapidly. The fact is, humanity today represents something unprecedented in the history of the world: never before has one species had such a great impact on the environment in such a short time and continued to increase at such a rapid rate. These qualities make the human population the underlying environmental issue.
- #3 Before you start going out and saying “The end is certain!”, realize that people are able to come up with ideas to extend their ability to inhabit this Earth, at least temporarily. More than 200 years ago, Thomas Malthus, an English economist and demographer (population expert), eloquently stated the human population problem.
- #36 Philippines is one of the poorest country in the world. Everything now depends on how much you will earn for living. So how many people now live in poverty specifically in the rural areas? How many of us live like that. I want to show you this chart. Very simple, poor and rich and here we’ll put the 7 billion people in a very simplified way lying out here from the poorest to the richest. Now, how much does the richest billion earn in dollar per day? Let’s take a look here. Then let’s look at the middle billion. How much do they earn in income , just 10. And then let’s go over here to the poorest billion. How much do they get? Well, just one! This is the difference of the world today. And the economists of today, they draw a line which they called as line for extreme poverty. That’s when you can hardly buy food. In short, perte jud lisuda! 1 billion people is clearly below that place and the 2nd billion is somewhere divided on that line and the others are above it. The poorest people. They can hardly afford to buy shoes… and when they get shoes, the next they will do is to buy a bicycle… this is a normal instinct! And after bicycle to a motorbike…and after motorbike, a car! And for the richest billion? They can fly by air on holiday.
- #37 Of course there are much people richer than the airplane people. Some are so rich that they are even contemplating that they should go as tourist out into space. And the difference income of the airplane people to the very rich people is almost as big as it is from the airplane people all the way down to the poorest ones. The most important thing to remember in this chart is this. The problem for us/of the people living 100 dollar a day is when they look down to the lower income ones, they look it as equally poor. They can’t see the difference! They think that everyone is living the same amount of money because they are all poor.
- #38 It is such a huge challenge when we see people are becoming eager to strive in making a living pedaling their way out of extreme poverty. One thing helps! Education is so important for the progress of people and nations. But how many know what has really happen with education?
- #39 Of course! its 75%. The common view about the world is outdated in several decades where the media have missed to communicate. Our world is changing every time. Back to our topic,
- #40 Back to our topic, it takes a hard work for us to get away from it! Our government can help if things like school, health, vaccines, roads, electricity etc. are provided but we can be more successful if we do our part. HARDWORK! It is possible within some decades and yes getting out of poverty is just a beginning. People will continue along the line to a good life. But what does a good life mean?
- #41 For most people in the world. The good life we are striving for means more machines and much more use of energy so does a problem because all these adds to one of the great threats for the future. Severe climate change. 80% of the world still uses fossil fuels and the science shows that our climate may change dramatically in the future because of the carbon dioxide emission from continuing burning of fossil fuels.
- #42 I am not the best person to tell you how bad climate change will be nor I’m a specialists to tell you on how to prevent it. What I can do is to show you a data to make you understand who is the one that emits more CFC’s in our atmosphere. Remember the information provided, from the poorest billion to the riches billion. From the one who can hardly afford shoes to the one who fly with air. Now this shows the total amount of fossil fuel used in the world during one week (Coal, Oil and Natural gas) and the total percent of carbon dioxide. So how much of that is used by the richest billion? Half of it! And the 2nd richest billion? Half of what’s left. More than half of what’s left and others use hardly anything. It’s so clear that almost all of the fossil fuels are used mostly by the top 3 richest billions. More than 85%, but according to UNESCO, at least the richest billion now have stop increasing but we are yet to see whether they will decreae. And in the coming decades, if the economic growth of the following billion, that will increase the demand use of carbon dioxide emission. And regarding the population growth, it could destroy our planet in the near future.
