World population About To Reach 8B By November

Now I just need everyone in the world to send me 1 dollar $ .
Birth rates are going down and are below replacement almost everywhere out side of Wakanda. With Wakanda its a race between them growing out of these Jebus/Moe cultist phase and developing economically and having their population growth go below replacement before their population growth causes serious issues.
Also I've heard rather good comentary that China is overcounting their population by about 100 million and their true fertility rate is more likely 1 like in Taiwan and SK and if so their population should drop to half by 2100. India is hitting replacement rate. Bangladesh is close or there, Pakistan will follow soon.

8,000,000,000 and I still have to rub one out tonight. 
I am sure there is a girl just for you. Problem is she is a farm girl living deep in the Congo basin and you will never meet her. Pity, I understand she is very pretty and sexually adventurous, just waiting for her hubby.8,000,000,000 and I still have to rub one out tonight.
Fuckem. Humans are the toxic cancer of the planet. Just watched something I taped a couple of years ago and have been meaning to watch. "Sand Wars". Here is a bit about the problem.
Nothing we won't do to fuck things up for ourselves.

The problem isn't the overall number its where the populations are growing. Places like Japan, Russia are in negative growth mode.
We've now basically gotten to the point where both positive and negative population growth will have dire consequences.
If population keeps expanding and tech doesn't keep up to provide the necessities of life to them while also preserving limited resources, we're in for a collapse.
If population starts declining, it'll put so much strain on our economical and social systems (which rely on expansion to be long-term viable) that they'll eventually collapse as well.

If we have a fertility crisis I imagine it’s people like Peterson who are rooting for Gilead to win in The Handmaid’s Tale.
Thomas Malthus and Amadeus Mozart were contemporaries.
8 billion people on a fragile planet, what could go wrong? Politicians are too stupid to realize that growth is unsustainable, population growth and food production are not congruent. To make matters worse, the rainforests (the lungs of the planet) are systematically being burned away. That means fresh water will dissipate back out into space, lost forever. Less water, less food a great dying will happen.
When Malthus postulated his theory, he had no idea how accurate he was. Mozart depicts humanity's fate. Kurt Moll makes a fearsome looking Grim Reaper!

Oh fuck, we have too many people, the environment, won't somebody please think of the children, panic
Actually fertility rates are dropping and soon global population will be going down.
Pensions, health care, economic growth, won't somebody please think of the old people, panic we need moar people
I might be an old fuck, but we could use with a gently declining population as far as I am concerned.
600 to 700 million would be a wonderful population level if all at 1st world level. Enough for some advancement, entertainment production etc but much gentler on the enviroment and more time to solve problems as they start to show up.

Human overpopulation is one of the biggest myths we keep needing to debunk. The reason is because this belief has an insidious effect, in some cases leading to profound acts of evil.
How so? First, let's start with the obvious. A belief in human overpopulation is often rooted in racism. Today, those who claim the world is overpopulated point to Africa, India, and Southeast Asia -- in other words, places where impoverished people of color live. They never point to New York City, London, or Paris. Back in the 1840s, the English thought that there were too many Irish people, which is why they didn't bother helping to feed them during the potato famine.
Second, a belief in overpopulation is factually incorrect. Humans are not cockroaches or bacteria. We do not reproduce exponentially until the food runs out. Instead, as a nation becomes richer and more developed, people naturally have fewer children, choosing to invest more of their time and resources into raising one or two children instead of ten. That's been the pattern in every rich country around the world, including the United States.
Despite this, global population models often projected that humanity would continue growing well into the 22nd Century before peaking at around 11 or 12 billion people and then declining. But some demographers are starting to question this. Last year, Darrell Bricker and John Ibbitson wrote a book called Empty Planet that claimed that the human population would peak and decline this century, beginning in roughly 30 years. Now, a new study confirms this view.
The Incredible Shrinking Man
Published in The Lancet, a study from the University of Washington's Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation projects that the world population, which now stands at 7.8 billion, will peak in 2064 at 9.7 billion (95% CI: 8.8 billion to 10.9 billion) then fall by 2100 to 8.8 billion (95% CI: 6.8 billion to 11.8 billion). If the UN's Sustainable Development Goals are met, which include education and access to contraception, the authors project a population of 6.3 billion (95% CI: 4.8 billion to 8.7 billion) by 2100, smaller than it is today.
Shockingly, the paper predicts that some countries will see their populations cut in half or more by 2100. Poland, for instance, currently has a population of just under 38 million and is projected to fall to 15.4 million (95% CI: 12 million to 21 million) by the end of the century. (Part of the reason for the dramatic decline in Eastern European populations is due to emigration.) Even China is expected to shrink by roughly half, from 1.4 billion today to 732 million (95% CI: 456 million to 1.5 billion).
A Smaller, Older World
Such a demographic shift will have enormous implications. Not only will the world be smaller, it will be older. How do we keep the global economy healthy if there are far more older, retired people than younger, working people? How will we pay for the healthcare of all the elderly people? Will we need an army of robots to take care of them? Japan is already headed in that direction.
By now, the overpopulation myth should be dead and buried. There isn't a single scrap of data to support it. Instead, we should focus on reality and the consequences that accompany it.
