Euronews/AP: World population to hit 8 billion in the coming days
The United Nations estimated on Monday that the world’s population will reach 8 billion on Nov. 15 and that India will replace China as the world’s most populous nation next year.
In a report released on World Population Day, the U.N. also said global population growth fell below 1 per cent in 2020 for the first time since 1950.
According to the latest U.N. projections, the world’s population could grow to around 8.5 billion in 2030.
That number will jump to 9.7 billion in 2050 and a peak of around 10.4 billion during the 2080s. It is forecast to remain at that level until 2100.

Words not spoken by green dictators or corporates: Population cap.
Westerners must reduce their family size and their carbon footprint.
Never mentioned by green dictators and their young understudies in college and elsewhere is that every economic refugee to the West has a carbon foot print, which grows and grows over time.
the carbon foot print of all refugees is greater than whatever reduction of footprint the original citizens/proles of the west already have accomplished.
So you have to wonder what the real end game of the Greens is.
Those of us of a certain age still remember Paul Erlich's 1968 book, Population Bomb, and the consternation it caused. Its ripples are still being felt, I suppose, in spite of it being chock-full of ridiculous gloom-and-doom predictions, none of which occurred. The chief reason for human suffering is not over population, but BAD GOVERNMENT.
Meanwhile, in the west, we have an aging/declining population.
And China has no aging population?
The aging population is why the CCP belatedly allowed families with 2 and 3 children.
Paull Erlich lost a bet about the price of commodities, but he has still learned nothing.
There is room in Texas to build every family on earth a single family home. The world is not overpopulated, people always find new ways to adapt. Though why anyone would want to live in Texas is beyond me.
The population is projected to reach 9.5 billion and then start to decline. Most countries are entering a population decline worldwide over the next 50 years.
