The growth of the human population will NOT affect populations of other species?

Food, habitat and even space on the earth are all finite resources. As the human population increases we inevitably consume more food and fossil fuels than before. In order to meet this need we cut down more trees for farming, thus destroying habitats of other species. Burning fossil fuels cause the rapid onset of climate change, causing a change in the environment (eg polar bear habitat is affected by melting ice).

Therefore we will have an increased impact on some other species by reducing habitable areas, reducing food sources and inevitably resulting in lower population numbers.

I absolutely believe other species will be affected by the growth of the human population, because humans are destroyers and consumers. We are the ultimate prey and we will do ANYTHING to survive. Unfortunately all the people who put their energy into conservation (i have great respect for these people) cannot overcome the perpetual and consistent growth of the world's population.

False: As the human population grows our need for ever-more space increases and more and more ecosystems have to be destroyed and species displaced into the human urban/rural systems. Humans as mammals have had the most adverse effects on other species of any other mammal known.

Actually, humans have prevented many animals from becoming extinct. We grow cattle as needed, and we monitor the wildlife to ensure it does not become extinct, so it is more likely certain species would have it much harder if we were not around. ;-)

That's just plain stupid. History is full of examples. Habitat loss? Resource competition? Pollution? What about global climate change?!

Your 'classmate' needs educational assistance.

definite, human boost will as a results of fact as a results of fact the human inhabitants grows, the international will attain over our carrying ability and we are able to ought to build greater cities/cities to have residences for absolutely everyone to stay in and greater shops for absolutely everyone to get meals and jobs at. on the grounds that carrying ability would not count to us, we've mass production, we are able to shop increasing however the Earth would not get greater so we are going to wreck all of the different land to construct our residences and via destroying different land, we are going to reason habitat destruction. The habitat destruction will advise much less residences, water, and potential aspects (flora, different animals) available to all of the organisms which will reason populations to pass down while their carrying ability lowers as a results of less volume of aspects. besides as habitat destruction, a greater inhabitants could advise greater costs of pollutants as a results of fact in basic terms no longer adequate absolutely everyone seems to be going green and this could reason any available aspects such to grow to be polluted or destroyed, which includes lakes starting to be acidic or plagued by oil, timber and different flora decaying and starting to be nutritent-much less as a results of consistent acid rain from factories or perhaps habitat destruction as a results of rubbish human beings pass away at the back of, that disturb animals such as a results of fact the plastic lining on soda cans or the different guy-made product that ought to in any way kill an animal. desire that grow to be what you have been searching for!

Nope. More people less resources. Less resources for other species.

My classmate is an idiot.
