[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It has been a given in my mind that the world's population will continue to spiral ever higher until some massive catastrophe wipes out most of us. But what if that is not what is happening? This article in the NY Times blew my mind. (sorry, don't know how to get around the paywall) [size=18]The World’s Population May Peak in Your Lifetime. What Happens Next?[/size] [url]https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/09/18/opinion/human-population-global-growth.html[/url] 8 billion today. A peak of 10 billion in 2080. Then back down to 8 billion around 2100 and decline from there. Are they predicting a disaster? war? super volcano? No. Basically, people have stopped having as many babies. Just like Russia, Europe, North America, Latin America and China. It is expected that India, the Mid East and Africa will follow suit in the coming decades. [/quote] I won't be here.[/quote]
