7 billion by 2010
Just today on CNN, it projected that the worlds population will reach 7 billion by 2010. Back in 97 it clicked over to 6 billion. In another 5 years, that extra billion will want to buy a car or bike. That soon to be 1 billion extra people has to eat and has to wear clothes. What is the maximum human capacity of Earth?
Also on the same CNN report, they figured in the ability to green 1st world countries and how long it will take for the 3rd world countries to catch up. The projection was in carbon and they figured our green house gas production will increase by 40% before we can turn the worlds overall carbon foot print around.
Economical cars, recycling, and compact flourescent bulbs are just the start.
