人口过剩的顾虑由来已久。[[特土良]]是公元第二世纪[[迦太基]]城的居民,当时世界人口约为1.9亿人(仅今天的3–4%)。他发现:“我们最常见的观点(有时是抱怨)是人满为患。我们的数量是世界的累赘,难以供养.... 真的,瘟疫、饥荒、战争和地震是国家的救星,用以修剪人类的繁盛。”在此之前,[[柏拉图]]、[[亚里士多德]]和其他人也提出类似议题。<ref>Roberts, R.E.

历史上,虽然[[出生率]]高,人口增长通常因战争、[[鼠疫]]和其它疾病以及高[[婴儿死亡率]]而控制。在[[工业革命]]前的750年间,世界人口增长非常缓慢,维持在2.5亿以下。<ref>[[George Moffet]], ''Critical Masses: The Global Population Challenge'' (1994): "[the world's population remained] capped by birth rates and death rates locked in a seemingly permanent equilibrium."</ref> |

人口過多(又稱人口爆炸或人口過剩)是指在一定地理区域内人类数量的生态足迹超过了当地环境承载力。从长远角度来看,人口过剩也可被视为不可再生能源大幅耗尽或环境承载能力降低,无法支持人口数量。[1]
词汇人口过多讨论的是整个人类数量和环境之间的关系:地球[2]或较小的地理区域,如国家。人口过多可以由出生率增加、死亡率降低、移民涌入、生物群系不可持续或资源枯竭造成。如果某一贫瘠之地难以为生,虽然人数稀少但也可能会人口过多(如荒漠)。支持人口适度的说法常引述生活质量、环境承载力及饥荒风险来反驳持续高人口增长,支持人口下降。科学家认为人口过多、 过度消费和技术应用导致人类对自然环境产生重大影响,使得地球进入新的地质世,即人类世.[3][4][5]
纵览
在1350年前后的黑死病之后,世界人口就持续增长,[6]但显著增长还是在近50年,主要原因是医学进步和农业增产。人口增长率自二十世纪八十年代开始下降。联合国已经表示对撒哈拉以南非洲人口持续增长表示顾虑。[7]最近的研究显示这些顾虑是有根据的。[8]2017年4月11日,据美国人口调查局数据,世界人口约为74.97亿人[9]据联合国数据为70多亿人。[10][11][12]大多数当代估算假定地球现有承载能力在40亿到160亿之间。无论用那种估算,世界人口过多可能已经或还没有发生。无论怎样,近期人口激增造成一些顾虑。世界人口在2040到2050年间预期将会达到80到105亿。[13][14][15]2011年5月,联合国将中位数变量预期增加至2050年的93亿及2100年的101亿。[16]
前三个世纪人口激增让人们忧虑地球可能养不活现有或未来的居民。1994年,国际科学院组织[17]就人口增长声明指出许多环境问题,如大气二氧化碳增多、全球变暖和污染都因人口增加而恶化。[18]其它与人口过多的问题包括对资源需求的增加,如清洁水源和食物、饥荒和营养不良、消耗自然资源(如化石燃料)过快、居住环境破坏。富裕但人口稠密的地区,如大不列颠,不得不依赖进口食物为生。[19]这在世界大战期间变得严峻,虽然发起了“为胜利掘地”[20]的农垦运动和食物配给制,不列颠依然得为保障进口食物渠道安全而战斗。然而,许多人认为浪费和过度消耗,特别是富裕国家,将在人口过剩相对的环境方面施以重压。[21]
大多数国家没有直接的生育率控制政策,但生育率会因教授家庭规划、增加生育控制和避孕措施而下降。只有中国设立了独生子女政策。太空移民和其它技术解决方案的提出可能会在未来缓解人口过多问题。
历史
人口过剩的顾虑由来已久。特土良是公元第二世纪迦太基城的居民,当时世界人口约为1.9亿人(仅今天的3–4%)。他发现:“我们最常见的观点(有时是抱怨)是人满为患。我们的数量是世界的累赘,难以供养.... 真的,瘟疫、饥荒、战争和地震是国家的救星,用以修剪人类的繁盛。”在此之前,柏拉图、亚里士多德和其他人也提出类似议题。[22]
历史上,虽然出生率高,人口增长通常因战争、鼠疫和其它疾病以及高婴儿死亡率而控制。在工业革命前的750年间,世界人口增长非常缓慢,维持在2.5亿以下。[23]

联合国2004年人口评估报告预期世界人口会在2050年稳定下来,在2300年前会保持平稳。[28] 2014年,《科学》发表的研究挑战了这一预期,认为人口会在下一世纪继续增长。[29][30]华盛顿大学统计学和社会学教授艾德里安· 拉夫特里[31]及其中一位研究员称:“过去20年间的共识是目前世界人口约70亿左右,增至90亿后平稳或可能下降。我们发现本世纪人口不会平稳有七成可能性。人口似乎不再世界议题上,却依然极其重要。”[32]近期,联合国预测到2100年人口可能会增至150亿。[33]

When is an area overpopulated? When its population can not be maintained without rapidly depleting nonrenewable resources [39] (or converting renewable resources into nonrenewable ones) and without decreasing the capacity of the environment to support the population. In short, if the long-term carrying capacity of an area is clearly being degraded by its current human occupants, that area is overpopulated.
