Yes, we are all gonna have less space on this world, but from the bright point of view you can appreciate the fact that you will have more friends. The point is: is the world is ready to cover the 7 billion human being demand of consumption?
The answer is..lets wait and see. Unless something apocalyptic is gonna happen in that years i am very curios to see what will going on.
Here is the full article of the news:
The world’s population will hit seven billion in early 2012 and top nine billion in 2050. According to a UN estimate, the vast majority of the increase will come from developing countries in Asia and Africa. The Director of the UN Population Division, Hania Zlotaik said the figures were no different from previous estimates in 2006. She said the projections are based on the assumption that fertility currently around two point 56 children per woman is going to decline to about 2.02 children per woman world wide.
Madam, Zlotnik. Said if fertility remains where it is now, then world population would reach 10.5 billion by 2050, but if it falls even more than expected, to about 1.5 then the population would only increase to 8 billion by mid-century. She added that population growth will remain concentrated in the most populous countries through 2050.
Nine nations are expected to account for half the projected increase, they are India, Pakistan, Nigeria, Ethiopia, the US, Congo, Tanzania, China and Bangladesh.
In sharp contrast, the population of 45 countries or regions are expected to decline at least 10% over the same period. They include Japan, Italy and many other countries that were once part of the Soviet Union.
