Why that number? That sounds like such a specific number. lol.

Corpse starch for the win, i reckon/.

I can't even make a mental picture of that kind of numbers ...

well i did the math you see

Without a doubt, I think that is a great idea to expand an already mass civilisation beyond its habitable landmass and agricultural scope.

And you came to that conclusion? Understandable.

That'd be difficult but with research and development, sure. Like nitrates causing a big boom in human population, no pun intended. I'm sure it could be done. But it's more likely we'll scale down in our population as we develop.

There will be some overslept who say that even 8 billion is too much to this world.

If the 5 richest people in the world distributed their wealth, everyone would live in 3 times better conditions.

It's all about people's greed.

billionaires shouldnt exist.

The plastic pollution would choke us further and further.
We are already suffering from pollution.

Nope imagine a world with every square inch filled with people ... do you like that hellscape?

According to google ai.

There's no single answer to how many people the Earth can support, as estimates vary widely, but the concept of Earth's carrying capacity is central. Some studies suggest a sustainable limit around 8 billion people, while others propose limits as low as 4 billion or as high as 10-15 billion, and even up to one trillion in extreme scenarios. These differing figures highlight the impact of human resource consumption and lifestyle choices, rather than just the Earth's resource availability.

This is why I dont understand why we dont spend more money on going to space and living there, its strange that the elite would miss a chance to charge us for every drop of water and every breath of air we took lmao. Makes me wonder if its just not possible for some reason.

But something you dont see mentioned.

The more space that humans take, the less space there is for the other life forms on this planet. Native americans know this, this is why their culture focuses on living in balance, and not raping the planet for every resource we can.

The entire food supply is dependent upon alot of these life forms, without bees and other pollinators for example we wouldnt have most fruit. Now the elite seem to believe they can replace these life forms with technology, but so far they havent been able to fix ♥♥♥♥ lmao.

Were supposedly at 8 billion now.

The Earth's population is estimated to be just over 8.2 billion people, as of mid-2025. The United Nations (UN) designated November 15, 2022, as the "Day of Eight Billion" when the world population reached this milestone. This figure is a rough estimate, as it's impossible to count every individual, and the UN calculates it using census data and dividing the Earth into grids.

I just randomly remembered that episode of seaquest where they mention that they cut all the trees down in south america and replaced them with manufacturing plants that pump out oxygen lmao.

Even if you consider newer technologies it is VERY unlikely that earth could ever support a population that is over a hundred times what it currently has. The problem isn't just the basic necessities like food and water. It is energy and other aspects like luxuries as well. At a certain point our planet no longer has the resources to provide every human being with a decent life.

Even now there are limitations with how much every single person could have.

The only way to reach a population of a trillion or more people would be to spread out to other planets and I don't see that happen within the next decades. You will see a Mars experiment but honestly I think that might end in a very tragic way even if Starship ever gets to that planet.

Maybe in the future with improved technology it would be technically possible, though I doubt it would ever get to that point.

Can earth support a population of a trillion?

Imagine all the food we have to grow and all of the poop we have to get rid of. And we need more houses too.

of course it can support one trillion
maybe when population was only a few thousands someone said imagine if we were one million, then someone else replied don't be silly there's no way we can grow food to feed one million

What is the affect of people going to work on the Earth - the simple act of walking / taking transport to work daily?
