That perhaps there is not some defense mechanism that nature can affect to combat overpopulation?

I'd say there's a sizable chance that you haven't ever left the state of Alabama, aside of course from going to Florida.

Yes. That is absurd. And it's not completely random chance that disasters occur.
Hooyah. We got us some really, really smart guys in here who have this alllllllllll figured out. Must be nice to be so damn smart!

So your saying that it's incredibly implausible for some otherworldly, omniscient force to have an effect on terrestrial happenings?

9/11 was an inside job?

My God, my theory that a small minority of this planet is keeping it from falling apart is being supported by some real ignorant shite in here.

Thank God for Wikipedia! What would I ever do without it?

If you're referring to something outside of natural processes, then yes.

Way to try to disassemble, bud.
We're talking about planetary/cosmic consciousness, not what a bunch of stupid humans may have done or not done.
Do you logic much?

I expected worse comments than this actually. But I do believe it. So yes I'm just an idiot gump.

Do you logic much?
people who believe one thing without any evidence usually believe a lot of things without evidence.
So I'm assuming you are probably a truther, anti-vaxxer, etc

Oh my gosh. How did you make THAT leap?
But since you seem serious - no. I don't believe the earth is god. I believe the Earth is a sentient creature. That doesn't make it God, does it?

Acknowledging the problem is the first step.

I think people have a giant misunderstanding of what "overpopulation" even means.
"overpopulation" doesn't occur in large masses, it occurs at the margins, for example, a famine in a desert community. That is the "natural" check on human growth in those areas. We (as are all animals) always hitting against the natural resource barrier. As of now, a vast majority of the planet is not hitting this barrier, hence population growth. We're growing exactly like we should in our natural environment.
Food chain collapse/pestilence/etc is not a sign of "overpopulation." If a comet slammed into Earth and only a million people survived, you wouldn't say "Oh, that was because of overpopulation by 7 billion people" No, you'd say, "A frickING COMET KILLED 7 billion people"
"Overpopulation" isn't even a real word with any real meaning. How can you overpopulate and not have enough resources in the first place? It makes no fricking sense.

Did I ever say that in here anywhere? NO, jerkwad, I most certainly did not.

So don't be too upset when I assume that you're just a typical dumbshite Louisianian.

You can't overpopulate something without enough resources to support that population in the first place. Its a stupid fricking word.

Not reading through all of this but someone figure this out if not already
Each person takes up lets say 2 sq feet. Make it more or less if you like. 7 Billion people standing side by side takes up how much land?
