Population Attitudes About World Population Growth
An overwhelming majority correctly perceives the world's population as growing and believes that world population growth is a significant problem. However, this majority is divided as to how pressing this problem is-both as a general matter and in terms of security and environmental concerns. In a September 1998 Belden and Russonello poll, 83% described population as growing while only 16% said it was stable (13%) or shrinking (3%). (Only 1% said they did not know-unusually low for a poll question that quizzes respondents on their knowledge. These responses were almost exactly the same to the same question in a 1994 poll.) [ ] The median estimate of world population was fairly accurate, but the median estimate of the rate of population growth was exaggerated. [
An overwhelming majority views overpopulation as a significant problem, but this majority is divided as to how pressing this problem is. This pattern came up in several polls. In June 2002, the Chicago Council on Foreign Relations found only 12% who thought "world population growth" was "not an important threat at all" "to the vital interest of the US in the next ten years." An overwhelming 86% saw it as a threat, but were divided between 44% who thought it "critical" and 42% who thought it "important but not critical." [ ]Similarly, 88% said in an October 1999 Gallup poll that "population growth internationally" was or would be a problem, while only 11% said they "don't expect it to become a problem." However the 88% was divided between those who said it was "a major problem now" (47%) and those who characterized it as "not a problem now, but likely to become a problem for the future" (41%). [

World Population Growth
World Population Growth ,
The present world population of 5.771millions (Mid-1996) is only a small proportion (about 4 per cent) of the 77,000 millions estimated to have lived on earth during the last 600000 years. The spectacular quickening in population growth dates, only from the middle of the seventeenth century (Fig.22). Yet. Although data are unreliable, it seems that the annual rate of increase doubled between1650 and 1850, doubled again by the 1920s,.and has since doubled again. By 1970 it was 2.0 per cent per annum the total population has more than doubled during this century. and during the 1950s alone it rose by onb4ifth or nearly 500 millions - about the estimated total population in the mid seventeenth century
The annual increase now exceeds 70 million person’s the increase rate persists at its present level, the world population will be multiplied six fold within 100 years, but if there is a continued rise in the annual rate of increase there may be several billion more people.

25. Human Population Growth
Human Population Growth The Rate of Natural Increase Birth rate (b) − death rate (d) = rate of natural increase (r). birth rate expressed as number of births per 1000 per year

    Human Population Growth
    The Rate of Natural Increase ( r
    Birth rate ( b d ) = rate of natural increase ( r
    • birth rate expressed as number of births per 1000 per year (currently 14 in the U.S.);
    • death rate expressed as the number of deaths per 1000 per year (currently 8 in the U.S.);
    • So the rate of natural increase is 6 per thousand (0.006 or 0.6%).
    Although the value of r is affected by both birth rate and death rate, the recent history of the human population has been affected more by declines in death rates than by increases in birth rates. The graph shows birth and death rates in Mexico since 1930. The introduction of public health measures, such as
    • better nutrition
    • greater access to medical care
    • improved sanitation
    • more widespread immunization
    has produced a rapid decline in death rates, but until recently there was no corresponding decline in birth rates. In 2007, r is 1.7%. (Data from the Population Reference Bureau.) This situation, resulting in a rapid rate of population growth, is characteristic of many of the poorer regions of the world.

    - The highest rate of population growth was in the late 1960s, at 2.04 percent, and the biggest annual increase in numbers, with 86 million each year, was in the late 1980s. - The growth rate today is around 1.3 percent globally, but in the 49 poorest countries, it is at 2.3 percent. - In 31 countries, the population is likely to double by 2050, the vast majority of which are least developed, such as Afghanistan, Burkina Faso, Niger, Somalia and Uganda. - In 45 countries, the population is likely to fall by 2050. They include Belarus, Bulgaria, Germany, Japan, Poland, Russia, South Korea and Ukraine. - Slower population growth in many developed countries has led to a higher proportion of older people. In these economies, 22 percent of the population is already aged over 60, a proportion projected to reach 33 percent in 2050. This has raised concerns about economic sustainability and the future of pensions.

    IMPACT OF POPULATION GROWTH ON FOOD SUPPLIES AND ENVIRONMENT
    by David Pimentel, Xuewen Huang, Ana Cordova, and Marcia Pimentel
    Presented at AAAS Annual Meeting, Baltimore, MD, 9 February 1996
    Submitted for publication to Population and Development Review , New York, NY, USA As the world population continues to grow geometrically, great pressure is being placed on arable land, water, energy, and biological resources to provide an adequate supply of food while maintaining the integrity of our ecosystem. According to the World Bank and the United Nations, from 1 to 2 billion humans are now malnourished, indicating a combination of insufficient food, low incomes, and inadequate distribution of food. This is the largest number of hungry humans ever recorded in history. In China about 80 million are now malnourished and hungry. Based on current rates of increase, the world population is projected to double from roughly 6 billion to more than 12 billion in less than 50 years (Pimentel et al., 1994). As the world population expands, the food problem will become increasingly severe, conceivably with the numbers of malnourished reaching 3 billion. Based on their evaluations of available natural resources, scientists of the Royal Society and the U.S. National Academy of Sciences have issued a joint statement reinforcing the concern about the growing imbalance between the world's population and the resources that support human lives (RS and NAS, 1992).

    33. World Population Growth
    From R.L.McConnell Daniel C. Abel, Environmental Issues. Measuring, Analyzing and Evaluating
    http://www.wou.edu/las/physci/ch371/lecture/popgrowth/howlong.htm
    World Population Growth.
    Population growth is basic to any environmental issue. Humans exert a profound physical impact on their immediate, regional and global environment.
  • Space considerations
    We take up space that was once forest, wetland, prairie or mountainside. While the space taken up by each individual varies. For example, it can be minimal such as in the cities of India or considerable such as in the late 1990 American single-family home which averages 2100 ft (0.05 acres or 0.02 hectares).
  • Food considerations
    We need to eat so land is required for agriculture. Much of that land is irrigated and fertilized with industrially produced fertilizers. Meat production produces animal wastes that can result in water pollution via runoff.
  • Transportation
    Roads cover permeable land with impervious paving and generate polluted runoff. They impact animals by dividing animals habitats which may accelerate species loss. Roads also provide human access to wilderness and forestland resulting in alterations of these areas.
  • Waste Production
    People in developed countries produce huge amounts of sewage as well as commercial, residential and industrial wastes. In the U.S. alone each individual produces about 725 Kg of municipal waste each year (exclusive of mining and other industrial waste.)

    To be able to use a spread sheet to present data
    To be able to describe and explain world population growth Introduction
    World population is rapidly increasing. In 1999 it reached 6 billion people. It is predicted to reach 9 billion by 2050. In this exercise you are going to produce a line graph to show world population growth. You are then going to add annotations to the graph. Finally, you will describe and explain the growth of world population. Stage 1 To begin with you are going to produce a line graph to show population growth.
