Can Earth sustain 11 billion humans?

- Despite a dramatic reduction in fertility rates since 1950, our global population continues to rise. This week we discover the reason for that apparent contradiction. We also consider one of the biggest implications of our increased numbers, and have a think about what each of us can do to minimise our impact.

When my grandmother was born in 1927, population was 2 bln. When my dad was born in 1949, it was 2.5 bln. My mom in 1952 - 2.6 bln. (only 0.6 bln. rise since grandma's - in 25 years, which means 0.024 bln per year). When I was born in 1993, it was 5.6 bln. (3 bln. since mom's - in 41 years, so 0.073 bln. per year). Now it is 7.7 bln. (2.1 bln in 25 years, so 0.084 bln per year).
Just recently found your channel and really enjoy your presentations, cheers mate, from an ex pat now living in Oz...
Brilliantly thought out and produced video. I think it's the simple clear approach that makes it work so well encapsulating just the necessary info.
I'm a relatively new subscriber, I've been watching this channel for several months now, and this video is quite a bit older with a lot less views than the newer ones, but I loved this video! I loved the format, the background music, and all the charts! I love the new videos too but this one felt exciting!
Excellent video! I recently found your channel and are looking through some of your old videos. I'm a longtime fan of Hans Rosling and have seen most of his presentations, both in English and in Swedish. And your summary is excellent. As well as you easy to understand explanation of how switching to a plant-based helps reduce land use so that we can feed everyone. You should make a new version of this video now that you have an additional 152000 subscribers, so that more can see it. Keep up the good work!
I found your channel couple of days back... and i must say i am binge watching your old videos. It gives immense amount of interesting information. Keep it up. ✌️🙌
We need to reverse desertification.
We may be able to “sustain “ eleven billion people but such a world would be an unmitigated nightmare.
My entire household is completely plant based. We practice no-till self-sustaining gardening. Fruit trees and native edible plants. We live in northern Florida, so I’m concerned about sea level rise. Contemplating moving before the housing market crashes near the coasts.
This is pretty much the reason I gave up eating meat 2 years ago - it was the single biggest thing I could do for the environment and the easiest to achieve.
Excellent presentation of a major problem. Let's eat less meat!
Great to see your channel grow by 900% since this video... I'm falling in love with your channel and think you're one of the best at communicating this well researched content at a high level while keeping it easy to understand which is a powerful thing!
1,000 to 3,000 in a couple of weeks, you are picking up. A large part of that I think is down to your presentation style.
Great video. The demonstrations you do are so helpful! Thanks, I love your content!
Thank you, I just found this channel, I think it's great 😃. Keep up the good work
congratulations on an excellent Channel .....very informative and beautifully communicated!
Another well produced and informative piece of journalism, keep it up Dave Jhat.
Big fan and hope this reaches you in good health. Considering COVID-19 and the lower birth rates would be interesting to see an update of this video.
This was actually a much better video than I thought it might be. Pretty informative, in fact. When you started by mentioning the idea of "managing" population, I thought, oh no, here we go again...but it wasn't quite that way.
Very well done David...
