2009 Worldwide Birth and Death Rate Statistics
 

Pretty interesting...

4.3 births per second ... dam!

Pretty interesting indeed. Makes me think of population control. Imagine if they had released a cure for aids, cancer, and the works how much fewer deaths there would be.

holy crap, world population increasing by 2.5 per second overall, hope they start selling condos on Mars soon LOL

This year they estimate an increase of almost 80 MILLION new people on Earth, and a higher number every year thereafter.

That's a lot more food, water, and energy usage - every year!

Eventually this cycle will be too much for our resources to handle.

That will be a bad day.

wow 77mil more people this year
they're expecting earth's population to hit 9 billion people maybe in 20 years

12 billion in 50 years?

no way the planet can sustain that many people

Nature will find a way to correct this :(

very interesting. wonder where the tipping point is? :Oh crap

I'd prefer nature, to man-made wars or viruses.

My guess is that the powers that be are quite aware of this global inevitability, and there are some wild and bizarre plans are in the works. Maybe some new virus and/or food additive that sterilizes most humans, making reproduction increasingly more difficult... or maybe an all-out war to seriously thin out the population before it gets too far out of hand... who knows?

At a bare minimum we all need water and food. Those necessities will run very low eventually, at least it certain regions, so random wars are guaranteed.

Cool animated gif by the way!

Like Green Day's song goes "Only the Stupid People are Breeding"

Every 13 yr old girl should have a 5 yr inplant in them...so atleast they'll be 18 when they start popping out units

in 10 years half BILLION

Hopefully... :2 cents:

That's a whole lot of fucking :winkwink:

80 million new surfers lookin' for online smut. :thumbsup

i blame asia....

It's been said before and I will said it again.

Your just a number!

Congrats to all winners.

P.S. The person that makes the most money, wins!

it would be beter for peole to find a solution. Like not having so many damned kids.

By the way when the tsunami hit in 2004 the population of the world actually fell that day. Maybe we need more tsunamis
