The rise of the human population, an ongoing global concern, is caused by technological advancements since the Industrial Revolution. While this issue is widely considered as one of the most serious problems, in my opinion, the greatest threat to humanity in the 21st century is climate change.
The rapid growth of the human population usually coincides with a technological outbreak. Since the Industrial Revolution, human society has gradually shifted from craft production to machines. Thus, for the first time, mass production is available. This situation increases the life expectancy of the majority of the people by providing stable food supplies and medical treatments. Consequently, the world population has risen; now it has passed the point of 7.5 billion.
The consequences of an increasing population are detrimental. Overpopulation is the reason for overconsumption, which results in resource depletion and environmental degradation. Unemployment is also seen in densely populated areas.
However, climate change, instead of overpopulation, is the biggest global challenge nowadays. Many developed nations have low birth rates due to a high level of education; therefore, overpopulation does not happen on a global scale. By contrast, climate change has been affecting both ecosystems and social systems around the world. From an environmental perspective, climate change creates more extreme weather conditions, thus hampering the agricultural industry. Furthermore, global warming leads to sea level rises, which forces the people in coastal regions to migrate. This situation causes many social issues, such as overpopulation or criminality.
To conclude, the recent rise of the world population happens due to technological advancements. Nevertheless, despite human overpopulation and its negative effects, what should be addressed first and foremost is climate change.
