Current Population is 3x Sustainable Level
Current global population of over
6.6 billion is already two to three
times higher than the sustainable level.
Several recent studies show that
Earth’s resources are enough to sustain
only about 2 billion people at a European standard of living. An
average European consumes far more
resources than any of the poorest two
billion people in the world. However,
Europeans use only about half the resources of Americans, on average.
Currently the 6.6 billion of us are
consuming about 25% more resources
than Earth is producing.
Obviously, this 25% overshoot is not
sustainable. Even worse, the longer we overshoot
and consume more resources
than the sustainable level, the more the
long-term "sustainable level" actually
declines!

Confronting the Twenty-First Century’s Hidden Crisis:
Reducing Human Numbers by 80%
by J. Kenneth Smail

now. The mathematical inevitability that human numbers will continue to increase over the next two generations, to perhaps 9 billion by the year 2050, and the high probability that this increase will exacerbate still further the problems that already plague humanity, only reinforces the sense of urgency. Humanity must not
only take significant steps to arrest the
rapid growth of human population but
also begin to reduce it dramatically.
