This happened in the 30's because of a drought. The term Global Warming hadn't even been thought up at the time and the drought is now actually considered mild by today's standards. This environmental disaster will again look like a parade compared to what's coming. Two major problems result from over population:
One, we need to burn far more fuel to provide, food, clothing, housing and all the extras for all the new people. This steadily compounds our greenhouse emissions, and warms our seas. This has been and will continue to effect our weather severely. Droughts and food shortages are already becoming more commonplace.
Two, we no longer have the real estate to grow enough food or the clean water for consumption and cleanliness.
Sorry, but this planet does not have endless resources, and denying that fact is probably going to lead to our own demise.
When people don't have food and water, when they don't have a decent place to live, and when they realize their children have no future, the shit will hit the fan and our society will come crumbling down around us. How anyone can be dismissive about over population is beyond me.
