What if the world runs out of space for humans?

What do you think will happen to us? Time will tell but what can you speculate from this? I know people will eventually think of solutions and stuff but I don't think humans have balance because we don't have much predators so we just make and make more humans unlike what I have learned in biology class which is called food chain where something eats another thing. Humans eat plants and animals, but we are not eaten until we die by the decomposers. Sometimes I think that we humans are aliens because we don't belong to nature.

Maybe we will move to another planet. Not Mars. It will never be suitable for human habitation. Too cold and not enough atmosphere. Venus is the place. It is the same size as Earth, so gravity will be about the same. It is much too hot right now, but we already have the knowledge and the technological capability to fix that.

Maybe we can pollute the air in mars with co2 so it can warm up.

I don't think much about things like this.. life is stressful enough with day to day issues just to stay alive! But...who says it can't happen? I mean with medical technology ever on the rise with life saving this and that and physical health and "how to live to be 100" being popular and :eat organic to stay healthy" etc,...I would venture to say that more people who are living longer than are currently dieing. Add to that all the babies born each year...and with the current fad of having couple dozen children per family...population could very possibly over run the planet. Why not?

Other people think of things like these because you don't. Isn't it nice that someone still thinks outside what is usual?
So what are your thoughts about this overpopulation of earth? Do you think that war will broke loose or we will venture out in space, or we will live to kill for space, or maybe have a forced demographic winter, or whatever?

it will be a very difficult thing for us humans.as what science says,earth is the only planet that can sustain life in the solar system.to find another planet that can sustain life,it will take millions of years to find one.there may be another planet,but it may be far,far away.it is much better if we start taking care of our planet.

Don't worry . The nature will do the balancing.As Malthus said food production multiplies in arithmatical proportion and humans multiply geometrical proportion. As we eat animals now we shall start eating human beings and become cnnibals.The strongest will survive

You mean there will be a time when cannibalism will be widely acceptable in human society again? Now, it is taboo to eat human flesh but maybe later when we are fighting for things that are scarce like food we might end up doing so. But right now there are still more chickens than humans as we speak.

Humans have the uncany ability to addapt. We are far from running out of space. Though by the slowly sshrinking forests and what not, that has been questioned. Humans are adaptable and I'm sure that something will be figured out.
Unless of course you count my partner George's theroy, that we are beings from the future checking up on ourselves, and Earth isn't and never has been our home. We were not meant to inhabit it, and all that jazz. However, I disagree.
However, I do find the theroy that we may make a home for ourselves in outer space eventually, like those in star treck the gundam series etc. Naturally I could be wrong, but its only a speculation based on a theroy toyed around for fictionalized television. Perhaps producers of those shows might be onto something, perhaps not. With the space center having issues and people losing jobs, it doesn't seem likely.

If there are no more space for us humans then let's have another world war.
Just kidding. I don't know. I just hope our technology is advanced enough when that happens. It should be advanced enough for us to conquer other planets. But I don't think I will live long enough to see that happening.
