Hey all,

You may have heard this astounding number. On new years day the Earth will have roughly 7.9 billion humans.

Interesting add-ons:.

The Earth can currently sustain only around 6 billion.

In 2023 in the USA there will be one death every ten seconds, and one birth every nine seconds.

So we are going backwards as far as sustainability.

Sometimes I feel like it's time to get, but sometimes I really feel like I want to see what happens in the next 20 years or so.

So what do you all think?

One thing I know for sure; there are a lot of hungry people out there.

Brent

          You know everything huh.

          I'll trust the scientists who reported yesterday that tomorrow it would be approximately 7.9.

          But hey, I never claimed to know everything.

    The current population figures are easily verified - no need to have a back and forth about numbers.

    If we're not going to have a discussion about the possible implications of what it means, there's little point keeping this thread open.

      Someone called Killer Virus starts a thread about population thresholds, or what they actively call on Youtube clickbait.

      KV was hoping that someone would state the obvious, nah not me l have my soapbox and spotlight and left over Xmas pudding with custard so am content.
