Solution

Population explosion is far more dangerous than an atomic explosion because it leads to many significant problems that leaves a question mark on the survival of human beings. The highest growth in the human population is mortally taxing the Earth and its resources. The fast increase in population results in an increased number of consumers, but very less amount of products that lead to the malnutrition. Each person needs essential resources, and almost all people aspire to utilize significantly more resources than are required by their basic needs. As a result, the Earth is attempting to impose its checks on the human population. 95% of the human population growth is occurring in countries already struggling with poverty, illiteracy, and civil unrest.
