It took us thousands of years to reached the first billion population in 1804, only 123 years to reach the second billion in 1927 and just 33 years to gain three billion in 1960. Then, the world population got to four billion in 1974, five in 1987, six in 1999 and the United States Census Bureau reported that we’re seven billion people in 2012. And by the end of the century, the Earth could have 10 billion humans. This video by Life Noggin examine the holding capacity of our finite world, not physically, but the maximum sustainable population that this depleting planet can reasonably support.

    I wonder why theres no universal law about population control. It doesn’t take a genius to see that we don’t have enough continued resources to keep on growing.

    Earth could hold quite a lot. The whole population of the world could fit within Texas with 0.25 acres per human. But in terms of sustaining the world population, many scientists state that the limit is 10 billion people.
