Are the following sentences grammatically correct?
1 Global population growth will bring about water shortages.い
2 World population growth will bring about water shortages.
3 The world's population growth bring about water shortages.
If all of them are correct, is there any difference between them?
I mean, are 'global', 'world', and 'the world's' the same?
Thanks in advance.

Hi, mmassuu—Only sentence (3) is incorrect. The subject phrase is singular, and the tense is the simple present, so you need the -s ending ("brings"). If you meant to use "will bring" in that sentence, you can add "will" and keep "bring" as it is spelled. In that case, all three sentences will have the same meaning.
Thank you for the answer.
I understand. And sorry that I simply forgot to say 'will'.
So 'global', 'world', and 'the world's' are used as an adjective modifying 'population', and have the same meaning, right?
