Early in the 19th century, the English scholar Reverend Thomlas Malthus published "An Essay on the Principle of Population." Malthus argues that if left unrestricted, human populations would continue to grow until they would become too large to be supported by the food grown on available agricultural land. In other words, humans would outpace their local carrying capacity, the capacity of ecosystems or societies to support the local population. Citing examples such as modern day Iraq which today is a barren wasteland but 5,000 years ago was Mesopotamia and part of the Fertile Crescent. According to Malthus' theory what is the relationship between overpopulation and its effect on environment of that area? O Overpopulation leads to resource consumption at rate too high for sustainability for an area and eventual desertification of that area. O Overpopulation can lead to periods of famine but society will eventually correct itself when enough people die off. O Overpopulation causes the people to work harder to produce more food but there is no major issue related to environmental damage. Overpopulation makes people become more resourceful with use of their resource so they will be less likely to certain resources to save them.
