How many people do you think can live comfortably on planet Earth?

The current Earth’s population is over 7 billion people, which is crazy to think about people we as humans can really even fathom how big of a number that is. In the U.S. alone there are over 300 million, a little bit easier to grasp for some. If you look back at history, the number of humans who have lived on earth were miniscule compared to today and is growing at an exponential rate. If we look at China for example there are over a billion people alone in just one country and many say that it is already uncomfortable there to the point where they had a one child policy that was discussed in one of our film discussions. So it isn’t a question of how many people can fit comfortably on earth but how many years until most of the clustered areas and most to more rural ones. To answer the question after people scatter to rural areas now then begin to start to make newer populated cities as a rough estimate I think around 30 billion people can live comfortably on Planet earth when people spread out evenly across all continents and land masses. Again, if we look at the United States, the Midwest is lacking a lot of clustering or even population compared to the rest of the country. Soon people will start migrating to that part of the country to live more freely. There are thoughts because of what the coronavirus is doing that people are now thinking about moving out of big cities like New York and Los Angeles.
