Will it re-double from what it is now ? (now....7.1 billion)
http://www.census.gov/popclock/
Around 1960, the population was half what is now.
Some people believe the redoubling will continue.
As far as a "trend"...it seems there must be a leveling-off of population growth....based on available space, available food supply, and reduced child bearing trends (social trends).
Is there a leveling-off point of growth ?.... or will there be scientific adaptations that allow for the continued population expansion. ??
At some point, there must be a slow-down of human expansion....at worst it will be the waste created by an organism (humans), that limits expansion.
Is this guy wrong ? He thinks redoubling is not possible......at the current population rate/numbers because there is just not enough resources.
The debunking here is.......explain why redoubling can or cannot continue.
Population redoubling is an instilled thought among many people....I don't believe it can happen.
