I said “about 3.5b”. In the context of a statement that we have an “ever growing population” does it really make a difference if it’s 2.5b or 4.5b?

- sojournerc 2y agoUm... Yes!? That's +-1bln (the population of India) you're talking about. If you don't see a difference there, I don't know what to tell you
- dools 2y agoOP said: growth is declining in response to the copy about an “ever growing population” I said: we will add about 3.5b then level off, implying that the population, for all intents and purposes, is ever growing You said: but maybe it’s not 3.5b! I said: in the context of “ever growing” what’s the difference? I stand by that comment. Adding 2.5b in the next 26 years or 4.5b can both be considered “ever growing”. That the population level will dramatically level off at that point is not in dispute. Absent some extinction level event which will render solar foods ability to produce protein irrelevant I really don’t see why the choice of model has an impact on my point.
