The Controversy of De-population

[said]

I blame Trump.

Don't be silly! It is obviously to do with climate change.

'There are now 7.7 billion people on Earth. The UN forecasts that this figure will rise to 11 billion by 2100'

That is from the Web page you've linked so where do you get 12bn by 2060?

You missed the great cull of 2061 where they wipe out several billion of the population. Keep up Alikado :-)

When I was young, people used to have children only when they could afford them. Now, it seems, that isn't even a consideration.
After all, with a benefit system they can fall back on, the only consideration has to be a lifestyle choice - and often that goes out the window in a moment of passion.

Yes me and my memsahib decided in 78 that we could live on my wages so we started a family only for Thatcher to get in and bring the country to it's knees with 15% mortgage rates. I had to do TWO jobs to keep a roof over our heads.
