The earth is full simply bringing more 'chaos' from events like Cyclone Pam


Dale Dominey-Howes from
the University of Sydney.
With more than seven billion people, earth is already full.

However, demographers and others who understand such things, suggest earth’s human population will continue to expand until it tops out at about 10 billion.

Implications of earth’s burgeoning population is explored on The Conversation by Associate Professor in Natural Disaster Geography at University of Sydney, Dale Dominey-Howes.

His story – “Cyclone Pam shows why more people means more havoc” – says: “Basically, we now have more people, infrastructure and assets “exposed” on the ground in places where tropical cyclones make landfall.”
