He said nothing about Russia, the biggest country on Earth.

I sadly see another "problem" rising in the future. Overpopulation. There is no solution for that. With overpopulation come less work. With no work come unemployment. With more people come less educated people(which really isnt a problem). With more people come new ideas that cause less jobs. Its a bad thing going on.

Unless a major disaster strikes in the future, mankind will eventually kill itself with overpopulation.
