World population is growing 20 million people every 3 months

An interesting stat to consider. The population of Australia being added to the world every 100 days. This planet is screwed.

Yep, the world refuses to focus on population, it's really the ONLY problem. Instead.... trying to regulate a thousand other things.

What is at least as interesting is to see where the growth is occurring, and which populations are actually negative growth.
Just interesting is all, don't make anything of that that wasn't meant.
There are I believe twice as many people on the Earth now than when I was a kid, population doubled. I don't think that has ever happened in the history of Mankind before?

Our financial system relies on constant growth, it cannot survive without it. Constant consumerism needs population growth. Powers to be are not going to discourage population growth.

Re: World population is growing 20 million people every 3 months

This has been around for years and applies to anything that involves exponential growth, debt and population included.

Re: World population is growing 20 million people every 3 months

Should we start a pool? What will cause the loss of at least 30% of the world's population first?

-- Famine
-- Disease
-- Warfare
-- Meteorite
-- Aliens
-- Zombies

I feel grateful to live in these relatively untroubled times. I hope to enjoy this earth and its oceans for a good long time. I hope my kids get to, also. And their kids. . . .

1. Population growth is not exponential, the rate is decreasing. It is displaying all the attributes of logistic growth.

2. A major factor in population growth now is declining death rates, not the traditional bogeyman of high birth rates.

For most of us there has never been a time like this, we live like kings and think its normal.....our lives (60-90 years) are short relative to history, perspective is lost or warped due to the environment we belong to and the time we live in. The problem I see is this need for infinite growth in a finite world! Alot of what we have is from future consumption brought forward to now, through credit, theres always a cost.
Anyway of for my second cappacino :-)

It will go like this: a wag the dog war, world wide financial collapse, a world war, famine, world wide starvation, disease outbreak, use of nukes, zombies.

Water makers and solar panels will literally be worth their weight in gold. Only the rich and lucky will have a boat.

Re: World population is growing 20 million people every 3 months

So does that mean there are 24,413,518 Aussies born every 100 days?

My guess is an EMP either solar or more likely from (pick one) N.K., China, Russia, U.S. google Operation Gladio. If and when the system comes down even our own gov. can't help every one. My boat is my bug out vehicle. I'll do what I can to help till I reach a point and say enough, time to go.
