And we hit the 1 billion mark back in the 1800's: http://www.desenvolupamentsostenible...mid=22&lang=en

I stand corrected and thank you for pointing this out. I see now that I was looking at the numbers wrong for some of my information. i did find that growth rates are alarming nonetheless.
1750 - 791 Million
1800 - 978 Million
1850 - 1.2 Billion
1900 - 1.6 Billion
1950 - 2.5 Billion
1999 - 5.9 billion
The acceleration rate is what concerns me though I was wrong on my original numbers.
