Average weight of a human is apparently roughly 67 kgs Mass of earth is 5,970,000,000,000,000 billion kgs In 2000 world population growth was estimated at 1.14% IF that stays steady compounding annually. 2012 - 7 Billion weighing 469 billion kgs 2100 - 24 Billion weighing 1608 billion kgs 2300 - 383 billion weighing 25,661 billion kgs 2500 - 6,189 Billion - 414,663 billion kgs 3685 - 89,000,000,000,000 Billion people weighing as much as the earth does Which is of course all oversimplified. But Global population growth hasnt been negative since the 1300s , the Black plague
True but this thread was about overpopulation. I was also being a little sarcastic of course edit: I see technically the word overpopulation wasn't mentioned but what else would you call it if the global population would weigh as much as the earth itself
I think we would have a LOT more problems to worry about than the combined weight of people long before the population could even get to 24 billion.
We can't outweigh the earth itself. We all come from the earth, you can't make something from nothing. Also, it won't come to that. We have reached peak child. http://www.ted.com/talks/hans_rosling_religions_and_babies.html
Well, with the added population, you have to take into account the amount of natural resources we are losing, so that takes some of the weight off. But with people becoming much fatter these days, I guess it adds what we lose in resource. So my post technically makes no sense.
Well, that nots technically correct, you can make matter from energy The difference between the way the earth looks now as it did just 50 years ago, we've now got all this crap flowing about in lower orbit. Times that by another 34, the year 3685, 17 centuries from now, we've licked quantum physics and fusion, a lot of us living in orbit maybe, making stuff out of just energy, forget the Greenhouse effect we are worrying that all the extra stuff has thrown us towards Venus

So let's see--if everyone on earth ate 5 pounds 'a food and took a crap that weighed 2 pounds,by your logic we might throw ourselves out of orbit?---ah fuck it--someone else do the math. Not only am I not buyin' it--I'm not even renting it.
