Population growth is by far the biggest threat to mankind and earth for that matter, assuming no nuclear holocaust will happen in the near future.
It's a big problem, far bigger than most will admit, as technology advances, less and less people are needed for mankind to function normally, more automation and less jobs to go around.
On the flip side, inhabitable corners of the earth are shrinking daily, we have drought and femine in places people used to live happy ten or twenty years back, poverty is increasing all around the globe.
You see where this is going?
In the following years we will start to see mass migrations due to uninhabitable lands and soon earth will not be able to sustains its population for multiple reasons.
Unfortunately, there is not enough for everyone to go around at the rate the populations is growing, you can check the predicted population growth - its doesn't look good, its actually scary to say the least.
By the time we hit 2050-2060 there's gonna be huge problems, and there's not much options that can solve this.
Either we start controlling population growth or there's gonna be cleansing, either by viruses or world wars.....
No doubt there's organizations around the world already planning how to get rid of mass amounts of people Grin

LOOOOOOOOOL!! Shocked

wow, you can't be serious??
where do I even start on how to reply on your post...

ok first the part where we agree, your last sentence,

yes, there are "organizations" even states(cough* cough* USA and it's insatiable desire to use everything in their power to fulfill their totalitarian goals, just to name one - taking over oil resources around the world and in the process causing death and destruction) that are already doing and still planning how to get rid of more masses,
for example,
over the years ever wonder how new diseases/viruses magically appear(cough* are injected) and spread always on places on earth where there is usually poverty - avian flu, mad cow disease, zika virus...etc. for the purpose to get rid of those masses.

Next...
Just because we explored every corner of the earth doesn't mean population growth is the biggest threat to humanity.
Just take a look at this picture and tell me again population growth is the biggest threat to humanity, you can't imagine how many unpopulated areas are there on the earth. You can't grasp that size and neither can I!

Sorry but you sound ignorant if you still think population growth is by far the biggest threat to mankind then and if that's not enough remember that even today there are discussions about how one day we will populate other planets as well.

this one slightly pissed me off..."Unfortunately, there is not enough for everyone to go around at the rate the populations is growing"
How the actual fck do you know that for a fact?
Not only do we have enough but we have way more than we will ever need, but uneven distribution of resources is something totally different and fault of the somebody else(the 1% club)
As long as nature is stable and healthy(no nuclear holocausts...etc.) the nature will have resources to provide humanity with food, water and more.

As a miner and somebody engaged in crypto world you should know better than this...

I agree with everything you said.

Glad you understand this

sorry for bursting out like that.
