Overpopulation is the same as Global Warning.

It’s baloney.

You can fit the entire population of the world into 3 bedroom homes in the state of Texas and have room left over. Not to mention the rest of the world.

Here’s how it goes.

Texas has 261,797 square miles of land area

1 square mile = 27,878,400 square feet

So Texas has 7,298,481,484,800 square feet of land area

The world population is 6,706,993,152 / 4 = 1,676,748,288 households of 4 people each

Dividing the 7,298,481,484,800 square feet of land area in Texas by 3000 (3000 sqft. lots)

Giving us 2,432,827,161 1500 sqft homes on 3000 sqft lots,

Subtracting the 1,676,748,288 households from the

2,432,827,161 1500 sqft homes leaves us with
756,078,873 houses still empty.

Better yet...How much land mass do you need to give everyone in the world standing room (4 square feet)?

Not Texas, not California, not Saudi Arabia... The entire population of the world would fit in the CITY of Jacksonville, Florida. Granted, its boundaries are rather large, 800 square miles. And granted you wouldn't want to be in center with an urge to hit the head or get some grub. But do the math. In any area less than 30 miles by 30 miles, you could fit the entire world population with standing room.
