    7 billion people?

    I don't get how the stats could be so far off:

    "Officials" say that "10.6 billion people could be living on Earth by 2050 and more than 15 billion in 2100"

    WTF?

    1910, 1.6 billion
    1950, 2.5 billion (a little less than double in 30 years)
    1980 4.5 billion (a little less than double in 30 years)
    2010 7.0 billion (a little less than double in 30 years)

    Are they idiots? Can they not read a graph? By 2040 we will have 13 billion, 25 billion in 2070 and 45 billion in 2100.

    Math never lies, and people always underestimate when trying to "adjust" for "factors like this or that".

          Their projections are based on numbers that go further back than 100 years i'm sure. At least if they have a chance at being legitimate anyway.

            Like culling?

            I know that I am a worst-case-scenerio kind of person (progammer), so I hope that the stats are correct.

              Believe me when I tell you,

              there will be a legal limit to how many children you can have, worldwide.

              Consider China ahead of it's time.

              As it stands, there is no possible way to comfortably sustain 7 billion people without the introduction of "game changing" technologies. We either have to stop eating meat, or start eating bugs.

              Major changes in our perspective/reality will be at our doorstep sooner than later.

                I've read a lot about population and "potential over population". I think in the next fifty years it's gonna get crowded.

                I think about this when I'm running. I see a time when we all have to live underground.

                    This has been in the back of my mind for a long time. If the Catholic Church endorsed birth control, that would help a ton. I'm glad I'm alive now...cause with, say, 14 billion pople on this planet and resources tapped, it's gonna be a hell hole.

                        yep... I already feel sorry for my grandchildren, and actually this might be a reason for me not to produce children...

                          Yep pretty crazy stuff. Beginning of time to 1950: 2.5 billion

                          Almost triples in 60 years to 7.0 billion in 2010.

                          Doing the math it will soon be a billion a year. Prob within 150 years at this rate it hits a billion a month. Then soon a billion a week.. billion a day.

                          So yeah, changes are coming for future gens.

                                  Been a while since Geography class and forgot the US was higher than you might think. Of course the first two are 1/3 the population.

                                  For their land area, Nigeria and Pakistan are getting crowded. Japan and Vietnam are already very crowded.

                                    With 7 billion people you could still fit the entire world population into Alaska giving every person 2000 square feet of space.

                                      Other than that, there is PLENTY of uninhibited land on this planet. Go drive outside major cities and there is 1,000s of miles of nothing, and that's in the United States alone.

                                      Shanghai already has 4-5 times the population of the biggest cities in the world and they're just fine. We have sometime to go before overpopulation becomes a serious problem.

                                        space is not the biggest problem...

                                        water, food, energy, those are the problems...

                                        Aren't you aware that this already is a very big problem for millions of people??? Where have you been hiding?

                                          Good point. There is a lot of room out there in actuality.

                                          Just certain cities are where it is bad.



                                          A lot of population around Southeast Asia and China.

                                          NYC is only 1/15th as dense as Bombay by area.

                                          Tokyo is 3 times more dense than NYC.
                                          Mexico City is 5 times more dense than NYC.
                                          Manilla is 7 times more dense than NYC.
                                          Bogota is 9 times more dense than NYC.

                                              Aren't you aware that this already is a very big problem for millions of people??? Where have you been hiding?
                                              Clean water and food is a problem in 3rd world countries, if the population was cut in half that wouldn't solve the problem.

                                              If the population of New York tripled over the next 2 years the opposite would be true, there would still be clean water, food and energy.

                                              That's an unfortunate reality, and I do believe in population control in areas like that because there is no end in sight and more population just compounds the problem that's existed for centuries there.

                                                      agreed, and than it doesn't matter if you live in Alaska, Beverly Hills, Australia.... because either way you're fucked!!!

                                                      not to mention this all leads to massive protests (think OWS is big... lol)
                                                      , civil wars and of course real nasty wars like never seen before... yeah, the future looks good!

                                                          For the majority in 3rd world countries, and impoverished, yes. Poor people will always have that issue, how is that a population problem?

                                                          Like I said, cut the population in half and those people will still be impoverished without food or access to clean water.
