- kmonsen 6y agoI think by 2100 we have either solved this problem or is too late. I guess most likely the latter but there is still hope.
- newyankee 6y agoThese projections do not account for increase in life expectancy. India is projected to peak at 1.7 b, if you consider Indian subcontinent as an entity, it puts the population of South Asia at 2.25 b. Not a good sight when coupled with unreliable climate, water scarcity, unlivable summer temperatures and no direct opportunities which means corruption may lead to feudalism of the yore.
- scarmig 6y ago> These projections do not account for increase in life expectancy. That's inaccurate. The study in the link, which has those predictions: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(20)30677-2/fulltext#seccestitle80 https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6... See the Mortality section. Yes, India will peak at 1.7 billion, but then begin to decrease. That peak happens in 2050, which is closer to our 2020 than 2100.
