I have been blogging on 2050 AD, and the forthcoming Apocalypse, but for some reason scientists keep trying to bring the date forward!

| Overcrowded Earth |
The latest report is that the Earth's population 'exceeds its limits'. Dr Nina Fedoroff said that humans had exceeded the Earth's "limits of sustainability".
The current most populated countries are:- China - 1.33bn
- India - 1.16bn
- USA - 306m
- Indonesia - 230m
- Brazil - 191m
But right behind them are a lot of countries, whose excessive birth rates are causing them to burst at the seams such as Egypt with 76,030,000 people, but who had only 10 million in 1900 and 20 million in 1950. At current rates of growth, its expected to be about 117 million by 2050 AD, which is unsustainable and means that Egypt has to take over other lands (probably in Sudan or Libya).
There is a group called the "Optimum Population Trust" which features population growth chart and is now endorsed by Sir David Attenborough. The Trust, which accuses governments and green groups of observing a taboo on the topic of world overpopulation accuses policy makers and environmentalists of conspiring in a "silent lie" that human numbers can grow forever with no ill-effects.
They want the UK (non immigrants only of course) to adopt a two child policy because the UK, population is officially projected to rise from 60.6 million (mid-2006) to 77 million in 2050, but that's almost entirely drive by mass immigration from Africa and the Sub continent. Stop the immigration and the UK population is stable, but we are not allowed to say that!
.... more importantly for those of you planning to live for many more decades, there are various world population clocks like this one which show the world counting down the destruction.
This one is from Poodwaddle.com but there are others.
The reason for this growth, is that we in the West have provided medical knowledge and aid, to stop the famines and plagues that were keeping population growth in check in the third world. It may seem like a humane idea to let populations grow like this, in order to salve western TV consciences, but we will all reap the consequences of over population in the next few decades.
