| Rate of Increase in World Population |
In our existence for the last 52,000 years on this planet Earth, there
have been a total of about 106.billion people. Every year we add
almost 78 million people to the world population and are rapidly
consuming its resources.
In the year 1 AD we were only 300 million and our population was
growing slowly at 0.5% per year. At the start of 1980 the world
population was 4.4 billion but in 20 years we added over 1.6 billion
people and the population was 6 billion. By 2015 it is predicted we
will be more than 7 billion. A British Physicist estimated this
alarming rise and predicted our current growth as follows-
'At the current rate it would take only about 50 years to populate
Venus, Mercury, Mars, the moon, and the moons of Jupiter and Saturn to
same population density as Earth. . . It would take only about 200
years to fill [the remaining planets] "Earth-full." . . . What then?
.' - J. H. Fremlin
