According to the professor, the overcrowding will lead us to cannibalism and even to eat our dead.

"We will soon be asking us if we can eat the bodies of our dead, because we are all hungry," explained the charge at HuffPost. According to Ehrlich, the population growth will lead to a new food crisis, and this cannibalism.

According to Ehrlich, the scarcity of resources will be so critical that the humans will have to drastically change their eating habits and agricultural processes. "[Mankind 's] moving towards [the cannibalism] at a ridiculous speed," continued.

"In other words, between now and the next 45 years, 2.5 billion people will join the Planet. We are moving towards a resource war ", he concluded.
