I read recently that India is set to overtake china as being the most populated country in the world.
By 2015 the world is predicted to have a population of over 9.7 billion, rising to 11.2 billion some 50 years later. In case you are wondering we are at 7.9 billion at the moment.
I think these predictions are very scary considering water scarcity and fossil fuel limitations. We are speeding toward a global disaster of epic proportions.
