World population = 7 billion in 2011 !!!


This is a staggering figure but nevertheless an important one. This amounts to the amount of human power we have right now on our mother Earth. According to the recent trends, world population growth is going to exceed our expectations and rise mile high. This according to a few is good as you will have lot of human resources literally but watching the other side of the coin will definitely cause shivers to pass through once spine.

With the human resources we have right now and the given population growth a lot of natural resources are going to be consumed before 2050. The best example comes from the consumption of coal which is definitely going to be gone from the face of earth by 2035 at the rate at which we are consuming it right now.

CNN reports that 97% of the population growth is going to be from the Asian, African, Latin America and Caribbean. India is going to be the most populous country by 2050 with an estimated total population of 1.7 billion ahead of China with an estimate of 1.4 billion. I don't want people to stop the growth of population but use your resources wisely to save some for your future generations....
