Overpopulation: Will we run out of space? BBC News
We live in a time of unprecedented population growth. People born 60 years ago have seen the population of the world triple. In the UK, in the past 100 years, the population has grown by over 20 million. But why is our population growing? What are the consequences if it doesn’t stop? And is population growth necessarily a bad thing? Our reporter Benjamin Zand has been finding out.

Tens of thousands of organisations have been caught out by a computer virus called WannaCry. The malicious software locks data away and demands a payment of up to $300 (£230) a time before it will restore scrambled files. In the UK, many hospitals fell victim and some health organisations diverted ambulances and cancelled non-essential services as they sought to contain and clean up the infection. Infections in more than 99 nations are being reported by security firms. It appears that the hardest hit are Russia and Spain.

A year ago, artificial intelligence was being sold as something close to science fiction — a technology that could transform society, cure disease, even reshape the global economy.
Today, the tone is changing. The companies leading the revolution are racing to the stock market — chasing billions in investment — while quietly confronting a much harder reality: AI is expensive, unpredictable, and far from profitable.
At the same time, some of the very people building this technology are warning we may be going too fast — even calling for a global pause.
And beyond Silicon Valley, a different story is emerging: growing public anxiety, political backlash, and the rise of what some are calling anti-AI populism.
So is AI entering its most pivotal moment yet — caught between financial pressure, technological risk, and political resistance?
AI Decoded Presenter Christian Fraser is joined by Financial Times AI Editor Madhumita Murgia, Thematic Strategist at Deutsche Bank Research Adrian Cox and Richard Coffin, Host of popular investing podcast ‘ The Plain Bagel’.

We’ve already run out of space in my opinion. When we start euthanising people so others can survive, make sure you take only men. If there was less men in the world, maybe my crush would look in my general direction 🤞

The latest figures show that already in many advanced countries the population is decreasing. China for example is going to lose millions of people over the next few years due to small families. The only continent which is showing a large increase is Africa. So I have been doing some research on this and it is estimated that we will have a maximum of 10.4 Billion by the end of the century. The biggest problem will be having enough young people in the workplace to cater for a ever increasing elderly population.

Oh I wonder why overpopulation is so bad? *They start making abortions illegal everywhere* 73m abortions happen every year, it could be over 110m if they made it legal in every country bringing overpopulation from 70m a year down too 30m a year. Then all they would have to do is give out free condoms/ birth control cause 37% off the 140m births a year are accidental. if we can just down it by 20% that brings overpopulation every year down to 2m people. That's 35x slower than rn

2:30 Sadly, the birthrate Among native British women are very low. Any high rates of birth in the UK come from foreign migrants that don't even belong in the UK in the first place.

People are dying too, naturally, disease, war, famine, suicide, car crashes, murder. Are deaths taken into account? Population growth is not a problem, it's what governments are doing to the planet is the problem.

The UK could easily take another 50 million. Concrete over the countryside and build mega cities with skyscraper ghetto's. It doesn't sound very nice, sure, but population growth cannot be reduced without taking 'extreme' steps to bring it down. Essentially a global 'cull' using war or disease, and I'm sure these ideas have been floated in some dark, nefarious circles, but I imagine have been rejected.

the destruction of nature and unspoiled places, low wages, congestion, traffic, rising costs of food, homes, rents, billions of animals slaughters, poison air and toxic rivers. A disgusting planet, the cities are crowded, what do you think? offcourse it has an impact on environmental, plastic oceans, too much human wastes dumping everywhere, disappearance of jungles, nature, and plants, and animal extinctions, so who now says we are not overpopulated? The answer is that simple.

The NHS need to stop supporting women whom have more than two children, by that I mean, if you have more than two children, you get zero help from the NHS. If you want more than two children, you have to pay private hospitals, which almost nobody does in the UK. It costs an average £5,000 per child born on the NHS. Cut it down to two children only. That will save millions of pounds on the NHS & should cut the birth rates down.
