UN says world population to hit 7 billion in 2012

[Andy Taylor]

UNITED NATIONS – The world's population will hit 7 billion early in 2012 and top 9 billion in 2050, with the vast majority of the increase coming in the developing countries of Asia and Africa, according to a U.N. estimate released Wednesday.

Hania Zlotnik, director of the U.N. Population Division, said that "there have been no big changes" from the previous estimate in 2006.

"We are still projecting that by 2050 the population of the world will be around 9.1 billion," she said at a news conference. "The projections are based on the assumption that fertility that is now around 2.56 children per woman is going to decline to about 2.02 children per woman in the world."

Zlotnik said if fertility remained about where it is now, then world population would reach 10.5 billion by 2050. If fertility fell even more than expected, to about 1.5, then the population would only increase to 8 billion by mid-century, she said.

Population growth will remain concentrated in the most populous countries through 2050. Nine nations are expected to account for half the projected increase: India, Pakistan, Nigeria, Ethiopia, the U.S., Congo, Tanzania, China and Bangladesh, the report said.

In sharp contrast, the populations of 45 countries or regions are expected to decline at least 10 percent over the same period. Those include Russia, Japan, Italy, South Korea, Cuba, Ukraine and many other countries that were once part of the Soviet Union, the U.N. said.

So they say. If we are dumb enough to go to war with Iran and start World War III then world population could be reduced real quick.

[Andy Taylor]

Cheney tried. You have the Israeli heads being captured on media saying that the Gaza raid was a dress rehearsal for Iran. Those assholes will go ahead with it no doubts and the US will have to step in.

A quarter of all human carbon emissions are caused by people breathing.

[Andy Taylor]

I'm not kidding. With the kind of twisted thinking some people have at some point we'll have some Darth Vader like device made mandatory to curb human c02 emissions.

Don't forget the cows either, those biological terrorists.

[Seshmeister]

Makes you think.

You could kill Duran Duran and replace them with cardboard cut outs saving on both their emissions plus all the damage caused by their 1st class travel. 50 less cows would be needed to feed Le Bon Bon each year and all of this could be done without affecting the music at their live shows one little bit!

So at what point does the Earth max out? Resources aren't unlimited so there has to be a magical number where the population is not sustainable.

Human beings could be a microscopic virus on a single cell (Earth). We will just multiply and destroy this cell until we find a way to migrate to another healthy cell and start the process again. Every other natural organism on this planet has an enemy to keep it's population in check...nice balanced healthy cell floating around.

My solution to this, even though it would be rather cruel is to send the same amount of food to these impoverished nations regardless of population rise. That way they'll get the message to put the dick down!

Or some people could just try to pull out at the critical moment...

Cheney was a country unto himself. It's come out he even had his own SS type hit squad that answered only to him. He was a loose cannon. He even alienated his backers at the CFR and Trilateral Commission. Henry Kissenger was trying to convince Cheney that attacking Iran was a huge mistake because the US couldn't afford it financially, would be alienated, and didn't have the troops to be successful. Now they want to break up Pakistahn and take over Sudan. Apparently the globalists want to cut off Chinas oil supply and raw materials supply in Africa. This is why Obama is focusing on Pakistahn. They want to cut off China so it will have to invade Siberia and start a Russia/China war. Why? Putin kicked the bankers out and they can't control China.

This is the new US Foriegn policy. If you thought Obama was going to end international meddling and bring the troops home, nope.

It's all how we manage those resources. The earth can support these populations if greedy assholes don't take charge. The problem is the world is full of greedy assholes.

Which populations do you think the Earth can support? I'm thinking more of 100, 200...500 years from now. If the population continues to expand at these rates, eventually we will reach a point of maximum capacity. I think in the near future we will see more "2 child laws" so we avoid one person having 14 children.

I can easily see that. I remember reading of how people were stalling on an Iran attack at a Bilder conference. Do you have a link for the rest, I've missed this.

A family friend grew up with Henry Kissinger and said he was a bully his whole life. Dr. Kissinger is part of the Rockefeller organization and has taken over David Rockefellers role in Bilderberg.

I have no link to an article but this person who is in their 80's knows a lot about what goes on. I heard about Dick Cheney from a family discussion. Dick has an estate not too far from where I live but he is not friend of mine by any means.

What is going on and what Bilderberg is composed of is international bankers and European aristocrats. They also bring in politicians and industry leaders. The goal of the organization what to unify Europe and bring back the European empire that was lost after World War II. To do that is they have to destroy the United States and they are doing it through a financial war. They are destroying the US Dollar right now. Then they will buy us up cheap, use civil unrest as the excuse to bring in a facist police state.

What's ironic is Bilderberg is composed of Jews some like Kissinger who's family had to flee from Nazi Germany and decendants from Nazi stock like Queen Betrice of The Netherlands. I guess when power and money are the goal, anyone can get into bed together.
