Four facts refuting the overpopulation of the Earth 1) Demographic scandal in 2010 in Russia. Ekaterina Ulitina, an employee of the Central Analytical Center of the Civil Registry Office, told the whole world that according to the data of the Civil Registry Office as of June 1, 2010, according to documents the living population of the Russian Federation was only 89654325, and not 142 million, as was officially announced in the population census. Ekaterina Ulitina even cited real statistics, for the entire 2009 about 5 million people died. And over the next half-year in 2010, 4.6 million deaths were recorded. 2) There is also no way to rely on Chinese population data. The numbers don't agree AT ALL. If you believe the Chinese statistics, you will have to assume that every Chinese woman in the middle of the 20th century gave birth to 5 children annually. Official data has been published on Wikipedia. They can be summed up. We are talking about the population of the 20 largest cities in China. Putting it all together, you get an impressive number of about 250 million people, taking into account the population of the districts. Where is the billion more? In the countryside? But after all, Wikipedia reports that the share of the urban population in recent years has been more than fifty percent! It turns out only about 500 million people! Of course, this is an approximate figure. But the food figures cannot be faked. How to feed one and a half billion people? According to published data from Wikipedia, at the beginning of the 21st century, China produced about 500 million tons of wheat. Compare with the United States, where about 500 million tons of grain is harvested per year. And the population of the United States is only about 350 million people. It can be said that wheat is not the main grain crop in China. Indeed, rice is eaten there, about 200 million tons per year. But the numbers given here show that this is still not enough to feed 1.5 billion people. How not to remember the famous Chinese ghost towns here? 3) The population of the 20 largest cities in India is only about 75 million people. And where are the other billion two hundred million? The country's territory is slightly more than 3 million square meters. km. Apparently, everyone lives in the fresh air with a density of about 400 people per 1 sq. km? According to these figures, the population density in India is twice that of Germany. But in Germany there are solid cities all over the territory. And in India, allegedly, about 5% of the population lives in cities. 4) If we take into account everything that is written above, then the total population of the earth will not be at all 7 billion. We are told that over the past 200 years of human existence, the population has grown by 6 billion people. But the media have existed for about 200 years. Back in the fifties of the last century, it was proved that the technologies of that time reached a level at which one working man provided himself, his family - his wife, two children and one pensioner. To do this, he had to work eight hours a day or forty hours a week. Today, technologies have become an order of magnitude higher. But the working day has not diminished. To provide for the family, it is necessary that all its members are employed in production. The retirement age is increasing in many countries. And how is it that there are 7 billion of us? Or no?
