We all know the world population is growing, and fast. By 2050 and estimated 13 BILLION people will live one Earth. What will happen? WHat will we do? How will we make room for 7 billion more people than we have now? Discuss.

Well, this is why there are major natural disastars, to destrot life on earth and to start afresh. if that doesn't happen, some government could arragne a little 'accident' with nuclear misseles to decrease population levels. I sincerely hope that doesn't happen.

On a more serious note, we need to find a way to make space travel cheaper so that we can transport resources to the moon to provide for excess population. Or, we could do so at Mars just like in Total Recall. Or we go to the gas giants just like in Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back! (Cloud City, Bespin)... The problem is the duration of time to transport, and the cost of transportation. Then there is the question of political preservation. Should the extraterrestrial colony become its own nation? Should it belong to all nations combined, with the colony subdivided into spheres of influences?

Humans are a VIRUS they spread all over our planet and reproduce and reproduce and reproduce all while destroying the world under them. Eventually Mother Earth will manage to fight us off, just like we fight off the flu. I sincerely hope that we don't start flying to other planets all willy-nilly because we all know the hell the naturalists will raise if we ruin those ones too.

On-topic, space travel could solve it, but we also need to be able to terraform, or at least live in, any planets we may colonize.

NASA is working on colonies on Mars and the Moon as we speak. The first Mars landing is planned for 2030. Also, Africa is not very populated but it is huge. We COULD cut down all of its trees but that would cause a massive oxygen shortage. So technology is being developed to either build a new type of treehouse kind of building or an artificial oxygen producer.

Is this topic saying that within 40 years the population of the world will double. It's likely that the population of the Earth will increase, but its hitting 13 billion by 2050 is a bit absurd. So before then, all crime will have been abolished, all medical maladies would be dealt with within a week at the most, unemployment would be non-existant and people would be breeding like rabbits. Hmm. Not liking this vision of the future.

Yea, also, what about disease? There will be so many of us that a simple flu could turn into a plague, spreading rapidly throughout the world...
