Population Growth

Definition
In biology, population growth is the increase in the number of individuals in a population. The population growth rate is the rate at which the number of individuals in a population increases in a given time period as a fraction of the initial population.
Too Many People!
Today, there are over 7 billion people on earth. Someone was just born and someone just died. Singapore is the world’s most overpopulated state, followed by Israel and Kuwait. Some countries limit the babies that live.
Population in Different Places
America (U.S.A.) 318.9 million
China 1.357 billion
India 1.252 billion
Mexico 122.3 million
Australia 23.13 million
Global Issue
All around the world, more food is used and needed because of the large amount of people on Earth. More people require more food, even if they help provide it. Around the globe, more things are going extinct. Water, plants, and animals are needed for a human to live.
How Do We Control It?
Population is hard to control...nicely. It would be mean to...kill a baby for population, one of the slightly better ways would be to keep women from having babies, but still, population is something we'll just have to tolerate.
