This book focuses on the Earth's carrying capacity to service the
needs of its human populations as well as preserve the ecosystems
that provide natural resources that sustain life and support human
activities in 2020 and later in the century (2050 and beyond). It
addresses the two principal factors that challenge the limits of
the carrying capacity: growing populations/demographic moves and
global warming/climate change. It also covers the effects that
these factors have on water availability, food security, sanitation
and natural resources. The status of these basic needs that sustain
life and societal activities with respect to population increases
and global warming driven climate changes are discussed on two time
frames. One with respect to the 2020 and the other with measured
and computer guided projected future impacts later as the century
progresses to 2050 and later, Attention is given to Africa, Asia,
and somewhat for South America because of their projected increases
in population. The purpose of the book is to provide those in
decision-making roles and those that advise them with a sound set
of facts and figures to think about to support their
decisions/actions. A secondary purpose is to present data that
stresses the need to act now, firmly and with investment to plan to
adapt to changing conditions rather than wait until forced to do
so. The book also discusses how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected
the world's societies and how they have reacted. The book will be
of use to students in first/second year of college/university
programs in Environmental Sciences/Studies, demographics, and
ancillary fields such as agriculture science, urban/land use
planners, political science, public health, and consultants at
academic and professional levels.
