Is the world overpopulated?
No! If everyone wanted to live in one city at a population density similar to New York City, the world's six billion people could live in Texas.
In fact, the real emergency lies in the fact that populations are falling!
By the beginning of next year, more than seventy countries representing more than half the world's population will have below replacement rate fertility, which is defined as 2.1 children per woman.
According to United Nations projections, the population of the world will peak at seven-plus billion about the year 2040, and then begin to decline.
