7 Billion Inhabitants and Resource Struggles

As many are aware, this past Monday introduced to the world the 7 billionth inhabitant. The human population has constantly been growing at an exponential rate, and a high one at that. Some scientists would debate that we've already passed our carrying capacity, or are closely nearing it, but when looking at statistics it appears that  people are already losing resources in extremely large areas of the world. As our population increases more and more, we lose even more resources, and more people will be without them. The struggles that we as people face are so enormous, since we just take what suits us and helps us out at the moment, not knowing its impacts on the future. We have been destroying the world, and more of us continue to enter the world, and at an incredibly fast rate. Will we begin to have a die off of individuals within our lifetime our any near generations, or will we fix our problems before such a thing occurs, but only time will tell.
