Human population is increasing whether we like it or not and might even hit 10bn in the next few decades. But why is this happening according to a Buddhist's perspective?
Since life expectancy on average is falling (famine, wars, etc.), the needed Karma need to gain human birth is falling.
Some that I know that don't believe in kamma use this as a counter example saying that if people are becoming more sinful they ask how come the population is increasing.
When humans become sinful the criteria to become human falls and life expectancy falls and life in the human realm becomes hellish with more conflicts.
While I have my own understanding (devas being born back among humans, kamma alone doesn't determine the next birth "cuti sitha" does) I would like your expert opinion this.
Cuti sitha is determined by Karma.
