    Anybody notice we crossed the 8 billion mark last night?
    I went to this site last night and it was about 1,000 over 8 and racing along toward it's next major mark of 9 bn.

    I did in WaPo but they also said we’d hit 10 billion by 2100 but we went up a billion in 12 years. So, wouldn’t we hit 10 billion by 2050? Or sooner? Regardless, we’re doomed as the global climate summit declared we had 9 years to “figure it out.”

    Spend it if you got it.

    Yeah, planet earth is taking a big hit with these numbers and that's not good new for humans and other larger animals.
    I read another article somewhere that said fertility rates are dropping and they predicted human population to be closer to 11 billion by 2100.  It all sounds like guess work to me.  I imagine a lot depends on fertility rates, and the effects of things on population including climate change factors, fertility rates, wars, and disease and pandemics.  I'm glad I won't be around in 2100.  Probably not even 2150!

    It’s expected to peak at 10 and change, and then decline due to lower fertility rates?

    Or that and maybe a combination of things like war, non world-ending environmental collapse, non world-ending meteor strike, non species-ending pandemic, non world-ending nuclear war. 
    I know... such doom and gloom.  But notice I said "non-world-ending".  :smiley:

    The earth is fine. The world will spin until the sun explodes.  How long humans stick around just like other extinct species is the only question.

    They went over why it wouldn't go that quickly.  China India and most countries are slowed to almost a negative increase.  They won't be doubling up.

    Countries in Africa are where the next booms are occurring.

    yes,I read that it will be a combination of factors, mostly due to fertility/birth rates.

    George Carlin line, right?  I love George Carlin's work and so many of the things he said, but Carlin was human and like the rest of us, Carlin faltered at times, and when I comes to that line, I think Carlin was full of shit.  The earth is not fine.  We have fucked it up.  Sure, it may well correct itself when we are gone.  Given enough time, thee earth will probably reestablish an new ecological balance. We don't know that for certain.  We One thing is certain- the world is in much worse shape than it would have been without our monkeying around.  And its not fine that future generations have to suffer as a result of the ignorance and selfishness of older generations.  And also, speaking of extinctions, think about all the animals that went extinct prematurely because of our foolishness and our arrogance in thinking we are somehow superior.  That too is bullshit.  Killing off other species is a form of genocide.  That is not fine.

    Sorry, but I don't and never have gone along with that "the earth is fine" line.  I think it's a huge cop-out to brush off our foolish and destructive behavior with that line of thinking.  We tinker with things that we don't know in terms of long-term consequences.

    Handmaid Tale not that far off

    https://www.nbcnews.com/science/science-news/falling-sperm-count-observed-world-study-finds-rcna57302

    Men aren’t producing as many sperm as they were decades ago. It’s a trend observed around the globe. The pace of decline is accelerating. 

    Those are the headline findings of a new analysis of sperm count studies published Tuesday in the journal Human Reproduction Update. It’s the largest report to examine the issue.

    I always thought it would interesting if Covid was a ploy to rollout vaccines that reduced fertility rates in a covert operation to lower the planets population.  It'd be a clever way to do it (sort of taken from an episode of Stargate).

    Not surprising.  But are things like that actually strongly believed conspiracy theories, or simply things lib haters do to bate and troll?  I really doubt very many Q people actually believe that stuff.
