(space, underground....)
But I don't think we will be having that problem for a while~]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13047895 Wed, 30 Mar 2005 20:48:02 EDT Re: km2 for each person on earth? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13046280 Kearnstd : Millennium Gate Tower is the only way then. now to find a place that can support it and a few hundred billion to fund it.

Something happened to me, but I forgot what it was.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13044605 Wed, 30 Mar 2005 14:32:53 EDT Re: km2 for each person on earth? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13044583 A900MHz Fan : I don't think space is going to be a problem. My father is a farmer and he has heard statistics such as by 2020 the USA will only produce enough food for itself and by 2040 will have a food shortage for our population. Yipes!

Condos, Apartments, shopping, offices, greenhouse on the roof. just think how much sprawl space could be not used if you built towers like this.

is that there's about 17,110,936 square miles available for habitation. The rest is tied up for agriculture, pasture and is otherwise uninhabitable? That works out to something like 368 people per square mile. Which doesn't quite seem right to me. But...

But there is a broad range of population densities. One source I found shows that the U.S. has about 38-47 people per square kilometer, while Japan has 1,605 people per square kilometer of 'habitable' land!! Mountains and agricultural land sure puts a crunch on you!

Not to mention there NEEDS to be OTHER things than man living on the planet too!!!

Yes and if they all lived in Texas, each could have about 1200 sq foot of land. Of course that is with nothing left over for roads, crop production, etc.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13032001 Tue, 29 Mar 2005 07:58:00 EDT Re: km2 for each person on earth? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13031765 grobinette : About 6 acres if you don't care if the land is inhabitable or not.

Current population divided by 57,900,000 square miles.
