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... The Swine Flu is out right now, and it's almost a pandemic. That could decrease population levels.

But it only kills less than a billion, the last time it happened, it wouldn't be enough to solve population levels.

Yeah um... H1N1 isn't going to decrease the population substantially. 4 people die every second. 7 people are born every second. 3 more people are on earth every second. That's 180 every minute. That's also 10,800 every hour. It all comes down to 94,672,800 a year. So every ten years our population goes up 946,728,000 people. A couple hundred people won't make a big difference.

Just refer to the Swine Flu thread. Anyway, the only threat as of yet to human population is the horrible government of Pakistan letting nukes fall into the hands of Bin Laden.

Or a huge asteroid. Or a blast from a super volcano. Or global warming.
