Why is the human population currently experiencing exponential population growth after 10,000 years of fairly flat growth? How long can this growth pattern continue?
What will be an ideal response?
Our use of fossil fuels has given us access to a huge energy supply that gives us a distinct technological advantage. Improved agricultural methods and technology has allowed us to dramatically increase the world's food supply. Much of this increase in food supply has been accomplished with the use of non-renewable fossil fuels. Advances in medical technology have increased the number of children surviving childbirth and extended the average lifetime. It is projected that these advances will enable the human population to grow exponentially until around 2050.
