Extractions: In 2000, the world had 6.1 billion human inhabitants. This number could rise to more than 9 billion in the next 50 years. For the last 50 years, world population multiplied more rapidly than ever before, and more rapidly than it will ever grow in the future. Anthropologists believe the human species dates back at least 3 million years. For most of our history, these distant ancestors lived a precarious existence as hunters and gatherers. This way of life kept their total numbers small, probably less than 10 million. However, as agriculture was introduced, communities evolved that could support more people. World population expanded to about 300 million by A.D. 1 and continued to grow at a moderate rate. But after the start of the Industrial Revolution in the 18th century, living standards rose and widespread famines and epidemics diminished in some regions. Population growth accelerated. The population climbed to about 760 million in 1750 and reached 1 billion around 1800 (see chart, "World population growth, 17502150,").

Extractions: Fertility Declines, Real and Projected The world population is still increasing and has now reached more than 5.9 billion, according to the most recent United Nations (U.N.) estimates .However, the global annual increment that is, the number of people added to the worlds population each year is thought to have peaked between 1985 and 1990 at about 87 million per year. Estimates for 1990-95 are that 81 million persons were added to the population each year . Thanks to long life expectancy and low fertility rates, the populations of most developed countries are now stable or even in decline. Developing countries, however, have not yet achieved that goal. Indeed, the youthful age structure of most developing countries means that their absolute populations continue to grow, even where the rate of increase has declined significantly. (See Global Population Continues to Rise Some regions are therefore closer than others to completing the demographic transition the point at which death rates and birth rates are approximately equal and population growth levels off.

Extractions: Africa's population is set to fall The growth rate of the world population has slowed down, according to the US Census Bureau. Its report says there were 74 million more people in 2002 - well below the 87 million added in 1989-90. The rate of growth peaked 40 years ago, when it stood at about 2.2% a year. The bureau partly attributes the drop to women having fewer children. It also projects a population decline in Africa because of the lower life expectancy due to HIV-Aids. In 1990 women around the world gave birth to 3.3 children on average, the report says. Click here for a population projection chart By 2002, the average had dropped to 2.6 children - slightly above the level needed to assure replacement of the population. The bureau's projections show the level of fertility for the world as a whole descending below replacement level by 2050. It forecasts there will be nearly 9.1bn people by 2050, just under a 50% increase from the 6.2bn in 2002.

http://www.nature.com/nature/fow/010802.html

Extractions: Nature The latest study, presented by Lutz et al. in this issue, reckons an 85% chance that global population will peak before 2100, and predicts with 60% certainty that this peak will be less than 10 billion, compared with a population of 6 billion today. They even give an outside chance, 15%, that there will be fewer people living at the end of the century than are alive now. Their results are notable not just for the relatively low figures projected, but also for the rigorous probabilistic analysis that accompanies them. Whereas the United Nation estimates present just four possible outcomes (constant, high, medium and low), the figures presented by Lutz et al. include specific chances of a particular scenario occurring on a specific date. This graphically illustrates the confidence (or otherwise) of predictions further into the future. Apart from the lower total population figure estimated (8.8 billion by 2050, compared to 9.3 for the UN's medium estimate, 2000 revision), Lutz

The Associated Press Updated: 1:42 p.m.Â ET MarchÂ 23, 2004 WASHINGTON - Fewer births and more deaths from AIDS are helping slow world population growth, the Census Bureau says. advertisement In a report Monday, the bureau forecast a world population of about 9.1 billion people by 2050, a nearly 50 percent increase from the 6.2 billion in 2002. However, the growth rate is slowing significantly. The global population grew 1.2 percent from 2001 to 2002, or about 74 million people, but growth will slow to 0.42 percent by 2050. Thatâs far below the peak growth of 2.2 percent between 1963 and 1964. The projections are generally in line with separate forecasts from the United Nations and private researchers. The 2050 world projection is slightly lower than the 9.3 billion forecast in a previous bureau report on the topic in 1998.

Extractions: Revised April 10, 1998. See References 1 and 5. Updated, March 31, 2004. World Population Since Creation by Lambert Dolphin Genesis 4 and 5 records the history of the Antediluvian world in a highly condensed account. From the genealogical list, which is probably complete without any gaps, the time between Adam and the flood of Noah-which occurred when the latter was 600 years old-can be calculated to be almost exactly 1656 years. If one takes Barry Setterfield's chronology as more accurate, the time period from Adam to the Flood was 2256 years. While classical evolutionary theory presupposes earth's early atmosphere was a reducing atmosphere (devoid of Oxygen) newer scientific evidence confirms what Bible scholars had previously suspected: the earth's ancient atmosphere probably contained a larger fraction of oxygen than it does at present. It is even possible that photosynthesis in plant life was more efficient than it is now. A warmer average climate in ancient times would also mean a higher rate of oxygen generation by the more numerous plant life. At age 65, Enoch became the father of a son whom he named Methuselah, a name which means "when he dies it (the flood) shall come." Enoch went on to walk with God another 300 years and was taken up ("translated") into heaven by God without dying. Methuselah survived to age 969, the oldest man who ever lived. True to prediction, the flood came the year Methuselah died.

Extractions: World Population Growth Part 4: When is Doomsday? The parameter T in the model function P = 1/[r k (T - t)] 1/r is obviously important. It is just as obviously not directly observable from measurements or estimates of population. However, we can take logs of both sides of this equation to find the equivalent form log P = (-1/r) [log (rk) + log (T - t)] If this model fits the data (and we have seen some evidence that it does), then we should find that log P is a linear function of log (T - t) Commands are provided in your worksheet to construct a log-log plot of P versus T - t for your choice of T . Experiment with T until you can make this plot as straight as possible. Is your best estimate of T in the near future or the distant future relative, say, to your lifetime? You now have values for all the parameters k, r, T in your model function. Plot the model function, and superimpose your plot of the historical data. Does this model describe the data adequately? Recall that we computed k and r from crude approximations to dP/dt , so these may not be the best values for fitting a model to the data. Experiment with

http://www.americans-world.org/digest/global_issues/population/population1.cfm

Extractions: An overwhelming majority correctly perceives the world's population as growing and believes that world population growth is a significant problem. However, this majority is divided as to how pressing this problem is-both as a general matter and in terms of security and environmental concerns. An overwhelming majority correctly perceives the world population as growing. In a September 1998 Belden and Russonello poll, 83% described population as growing while only 16% said it was stable (13%) or shrinking (3%). (Only 1% said they did not know-unusually low for a poll question that quizzes respondents on their knowledge. These responses were almost exactly the same to the same question in a 1994 poll.) [ ] The median estimate of world population was fairly accurate, but the median estimate of the rate of population growth was exaggerated. [ An overwhelming majority views overpopulation as a significant problem, but this majority is divided as to how pressing this problem is. This pattern came up in several polls. In June 2002, the Chicago Council on Foreign Relations found only 12% who thought "world population growth" was "not an important threat at all" "to the vital interest of the US in the next ten years." An overwhelming 86% saw it as a threat, but were divided between 44% who thought it "critical" and 42% who thought it "important but not critical." [
