社评 0713 世界人口爆炸

世界人口爆炸

联合国週一发布报告指出，到今年十一月十五日全世界人口将达到八十亿， 印度人口将突破十四亿大关， 将超过中国成為世界人口最多的国家 ，报告中也预测 到了二O五0年印度人口将达到十六亿六千八百万，而中国会下降至十三亿一千七百万， 印度将远超过中国。

秘书长古特雷斯表示，我们有责任共同来照顾这个星球 ，根据联合国之报告，过去四十年来 ，中国経済之起飞是得利於人口红利， 这项优势可能在未来日益消失，而由印度、 越南及孟加拉等人口激增之国家来代替。

世界人口不断之增多 已经是全球粮食短缺之危机 ，如何能让人人吃得保 ，是大家共同之责任。

当世界人口到2030 年将达八十五亿， 2025 年达九十七亿 ，到2080 年时会超过一百零四亿， 这岂不是人口之爆炸吗？

在人类為了追求更美好之生活 ，砍伐森林破坏大自然 ，污染海洋是造成目前生态环境恶化之重大原因， 这也造成气候变化， 天灾频传使人类可生存之地方越来越少。

目前世界战乱不止， 疫情未能控制能源短缺 ，粮食不足， 然而人口还是不断增长， 实在是另一种危机再现。

World Population Explosion

The United Nations released a report on Monday that said the world’s population will reach 8 billion by November 15 of this year. The Indian population will exceed the 1.4 billion mark, surpassing China as the world’s most populous country.

The report also predicts that by the year of 2050, India's population will reach 16.68 billion and China's population will reduce to 13.17 billion.

UN Secretary-General António Gutierrez said that, “It is our responsibility to take care of the global planet together.” 

According to a report, over the last forty years China’s economy has had the young labor power, but this advantage will disappear and be replaced by India and Vietnam.

The continuous increase of the world’s population has already spawned the crisis of a global food shortage. When the world's population reaches 85 billion in 2030 and estimates now show we will reach 104 billion by the year 2080, isn’t this a population explosion?

In the pursuit of a better life by human beings, we are sacrificing nature and the environment which has caused climate change and an increase of natural disasters have occurred around the world.

At the present time, the war in Ukraine is still going on, the pandemic has failed to be controlled and we are facing a global food shortage. Climate change is really another crisis.
