Consider this: In 1950, population was 2.5 billion. In 2000, 6 billion (i.e: 2.4x in only 50 years) In 2010, 7 billion (16% growth in only 10 years) Is this

Consider this:
In 1950, population was 2.5 billion.
In 2000, 6 billion (i.e: 2.4x in only 50 years)
In 2010, 7 billion (16% growth in only 10 years)
Is this sustainable? clearly not the way things are right now.
- overcast 10y agoThe population growth rate is steadily declining. The last hundred years, is not going to be reflective of the next hundred. http://www.worldometers.info/world-population/#growthrate http://www.worldometers.info/world-population/#growthrate As the bigger countries like India get more and more industrialized, they will level off too.
- refurb 10y agoConsidering that some population forecasts are assuming a peak population in the not to distant future, I'd say, yes, it's sustainable.
