About This Quote
The world is full of people who like to use the phrase, "last time". It's not that everyone used to like everyone, but that everyone did. After all, the only time the world even had 4 billion people was in 1950. The growth of population since then has been astounding.
The population today is about 8.5 billion and is set to reach about 16 billion in 2075. In a few decades, we'll have a population that's too big for our planet to sustain. The only way we can stop this from happening is through a crash in fertility, which will likely happen within a few years after 2050.
