  1. Global warming is caused because of 8 billion hot bodies raising the temperature. Thanos was on to something here.

  2. We humans are cancer to planet earth, in the end the reset switch will take care of it.

  3. In the year 2030s human species will most likely have made direct contact with aliens πŸ‘½πŸ‘½πŸ‘½πŸ‘½ from outer space 🌌🌌🌌🌌

  4. Yall are gunna have to cut back on having your fat pug faced kids!ILMFAO

  5. Geesh people we're hominids not rabbits. Stop while theres still room.

  6. Odd since we already have 8 Billion people on this Earth. We had 7.8 billion in 2020. We hit 8 Billion early this year. What a sad attempt at a video.

  7. Well done in providing accurate and concise explanations of the demographic transition model, and thank you for sharing data about the current growth.

  8. no child policy for those below poverty and one child policy for those below median income.

  9. These statistics are based entirely on if things continue as they are. Which they are not. I think there will be a decline by 2040 and by 2050 we will be beneath nine billion.

  10. Seems about time for another world war to conveniently start

  11. That's all right were going to have another pandemic. Remember are fearless leader Biden told us so.

  12. welp time to start working together on space exploration to expand and stop fighting over land

  13. That why we have pandemic, wars etc nature ways for population control.

  14. They all are migrating to America. Ugh.

  15. Dr. Alexander Roland Isaacs: We stand on the brink of Armageddon. Diseases for which we have no cure. Fundamentalist states who call for our destruction. Nuclear powers over which we have no control. And even if we navigate these dangerous waters, we face other, even more inevitable threats. Global warming will melt the polar ice caps within 80 years, flooding 90% of all habitable areas on Earth. Unchecked population growth will overtake food production in less than 50 years, leading to famine and war. This is not conjecture. This is fact. One way or another, our world is coming to an end. Now, the question is, will we end with it?

  16. The world population will collapse

  17. not according to bill gates

  18. Lol they think humans will still exist in 2100, that's ADORABLE

  19. Looks like the virus didn't even put a dent in it. SMH. Can we get a better one?

  20. The East is overpopulated and now they are invading the West! Smh!

  21. We are the the virus destroying our host.

  22. ..didn't we just get hit hard by this pandemic apparently πŸ™„. Did the stay at home advisory cause more babybmaking to make up for those numbers? Lol

  23. Nature will balance population, that number should drop in the coming months and years.

  24. It is insane, they keep making babies and babies. These people are really really stupid, no wonder they are so poor and remain to be poor forever.

  25. cant say whether or not this is a good thing or bad. Despite the numbers man has not over populated the earth by way of scarcity of liveable lands. Theirs tons of liveable space, That said that space needs to be developed with modern infrastructure. So in terms of simply cramming all those people on top of one another and not creating new places for people to live, well indeed thats an issue. Just as wel, is the fact that we have done so much damage to the space we already occupy, and as a result that which bleeds over into those wild spaces we do not. The one thing that is for certain, is more people typically equates to a drain on reasources. which leads to war. And we already see nations illegally venturing into other nations to steal reasources without permission. Chinese fishing vessels sailing having already depleted their own domestic stock levels, now venture into other nations waters to do the same. This indeed will lead to war.

  26. More people = More problems.

  27. Wow covid didn't do anything at all compared to growth population πŸ™„ so why do we still care

  28. funny… Elon Musk said we have a population crisis……. which is why hes got like 9 kids with 4 different partners

  29. This guy has no idea what he's talking about…if there's no growth in population, then our species will die off very rapidly. Once we are losing more people than are being born the population of the world will diminish very very rapidly. Just take a look at what is happening in Japan.

  30. This is Why They Invented Covid 19, and the Poisonous Vax…
    And Why Biden is Starting WW3, and Nuclear Armageddon…
    Problem Solved.

  31. Don't worry, we are developing the ULTIMATE MEAT GRINDER to control population growth ! It is now being tested in UKRAINE ! BTW, Profits from weapons are spiralling, cash-in now ! Its the mother lode ! Don't worry about ethics; only other folks will die !

  32. Time to have a show "Death Race"

  33. we need to encourage these countries to have all-out war with each other specially China n India they need to lose at least 50 % of their population.

  34. Aye! Let me tell you'all something eh, dat 2080 you'all looking forward to ain't coming ok! It ain't coming. God's Kingdom will be here long long before then. At the rate this world going Satan ain't even have one leg to stand on now. It's time for righteous people to inhabit the earth and for wickedness to end! God's patience has a limit ok! *A limit! Time is quickly running out, so keep waiting on 2080.

  35. but covid caused so many deaths, correct?

  36. This is why we need ww3 to reduce the population of the world

  37. And rocks will start talking in 2056

  38. MY FINANCIAL GOAL IS TO BE MAKING AT LEAST UP TO $1,000,000 EVERY YEAR BY INVESTING HEAVILY BOTH IN CRYPTO AND STOCK. I NEED GUIDIANCE. please comment below

  39. With the overturning of abortions why are we talkin about increased population it's a contradiction

  40. News be like
    We saying global population is at 8 billion
    Nato be like
    Covid 19 failed
    We need Ww3 and blame Russia
    And keep population down

  41. Yes, the government knows this, that's why they let covid happen

  42. Is that why they are trying to save lives with Vaccine ???

  43. Leave us the poor countries alone with our population growth ..God said to go and multiple the earth no weapon formed against the poor will prosper..God always sustain so back off devils

  44. Don’t miss the rapture
