Growth

Date: January 23rd, 2010

Today, my dad showed me this clip on youtube. He's called Chris Martenson and he talks about how all the problems our Earth is facing is due to population growth. I found it really interesting. I like the part when he talks about exponential growth. He talks about how if you were at Fenway park and there was a drop of water dropping onto the pitcher's mound once every minute, and every minute the number of drops multiply. How long would it take for the park to fill up? It would take 49 minutes and you would only notice the water growing at the 44 minute mark. It's the same with population growth, every year the number of people multiplies and it's draining our resources.
