Human overpopulation is causing major issues for the world. The population continues to rise each year and is currently over 7 billion people. This level of population growth is straining resources and causing problems like increased pollution, starvation, and crowded living conditions. Some experts are concerned about whether the planet can sustainably support the growing number of humans. Solutions that have been proposed include reducing population growth rates and consuming resources more efficiently. However, population issues are complex with social and ethical considerations.
