Extractions: Dear Citizen of Earth May 1, 2000 The human population of Earth reached 1 billion in 1804, 2 billion in 1927, 3 billion in 1959, 4 billion in 1974 and 5 billion in late 1986. Last year on October 12th 1999, the human population of Earth reached 6 billion. In my lifetime the population has doubled from 3 billion in 1959 to the 6,034,213,000 today. This doubling of population which occured over the last 40 years will never come close to happening again. The exponential growth of human population peaked in 1987. That year 87.01 million more people were added to the Earth. Since 1987, the population has declined on average by 2.1 million less people added per year. In this year of 2000 the population will increase by 60.1 million people. If we maintain this 13 year average of 2.1 million less people added per year, we will peak in population reaching zero population growth in 2029 with 6.90 billion people.

migration of animals and the seasonal growth of edible a variety of locations aroundthe world they began The population had outgrown the capacity of hunting
http://www.popinfo.org/issues/history01.htm

Extractions: World population exceeded six billion in mid-1999, and is growing by an estimated 80 to 85 million people each year. According to United Nations estimates, we will add another billion people every 12 to 13 years for the next few decades. Both this number of people and this level of increase are unprecedented in human history. Both create challenges to the natural environment, and to the quality of human life, previously unimagined. Through nearly all of human history, our ancestors lived as hunter gatherers. They lived in small clans or tribes, and followed the migration of animals and the seasonal growth of edible plants. But from about 8,000 to 15,000 years ago in a variety of locations around the world they began to take up a settled existence. The reason for this fundamental change in the way people lived was quite simple human numbers had grown to the point that it had become necessary. The population had outgrown the capacity of hunting and gathering to support it. (Depending upon the productivity of local ecosystems, it may take as much as one to three square miles of land per person to support a hunter gatherer lifestyle.) Humans had already penetrated and colonized all the continents by then. They had begun to modify their environments, burning grasslands, clearing forests, and hunting many large species to extinction. Except in areas too cold, too hot, or too dry to support them, they had exploited local ecosystems to the best of their ability. And, apparently, in a variety of regions around the world, they had reached the limits of local resources.

MAP INDEX The World Factbook. Population growth rate The average annual percent change in the population, resulting from a surplus (or deficit) of births over deaths and the balance of migrants entering and leaving a country. The rate may be positive or negative. The growth rate is a factor in determining how great a burden would be imposed on a country by the changing needs of its people for infrastructure (e.g., schools, hospitals, housing, roads), resources (e.g., food, water, electricity), and jobs. Rapid population growth can be seen as threatening by neighboring countries.

Population Growth -- Stabilization?
Global population Continues to Rise. Trends and Projections in Worldpopulation growth by Region, Medium Fertility Projection, 19502050.
http://www.wri.org/wr-98-99/popgrow.htm

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: Revised April 10, 1998. See References 1 and 5. 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.

http://dieoff.org/page75.htm

Extractions: A Joint Statement by 58 of the World's Scientific Academies The growing world population The world is in the midst of an unprecedented expansion of human numbers. It took hundreds of thousands of years for our species to reach a population level of 10 million, only 10,000 years ago. This number grew to 100 million people about 2,000 years ago and to 2.5 billion by 1950. Within less than the span of a single lifetime, it has more than doubled to 5.5 billion in 1993. This accelerated population growth resulted from rapidly lowered death rates (particularly infant and child mortality rates), combined with sustained high birth rates. Success in reducing death rates is attributable to several factors: increases in food production and distribution, improvements in public health (water and sanitation) and in medical technology (vaccines and antibiotics), along with gains in education and standards of living within many developing nations. Over the last 30 years, many regions of the world have also dramatically reduced birth rates. Some have already achieved family sizes small enough, if maintained, to result eventually in a halt to population growth. These successes have led to a slowing of the world's rate of population increase. The shift from high to low death and birth rates has been called the "demographic transition."
