World Population To Hit 7-Billion Mark In 6 Months

5/4/2011 9:17 AM ET

(RTTNews) - The world population is expected to hit the seven-billion mark on October 31, 2011 with bulk of the increase in the population coming from 58 "high-fertility countries," says a new U.N. report on population.

"A world of 7 billion is both a challenge and an opportunity," U.N. Population Fund (UNFPA) Executive Director Babatunde Osotimehin said in a statement on Tuesday.

"The population projections underscore the urgent need to provide safe and effective family planning to the 215 million women who lack it. Small variations in fertility -- when multiplied across countries and over time -- make a world of difference," he said.

Why do I have the feeling that it may hit 7 billion, but it won’t stay that high for long?

LOLOLOL!!!!

They can right now. Cross those legs, or as the Priest told our Confirmation class full of eighth graders, keep your pants on.

Seriously, a woman is fertile one week out of the month. Can’t ya hold out for a lousy week?

If Obama stays in power for a second term and Western Europe elects their equivalent of the guy, then it could be down to a couple hundred million on a couple years, if that.

They'll try what Tom Clancy wrote near the end of Rainbow Six, and that will be to poison the air at a huge event, probably the Olympics. It'll probably be something that won't show up until after two or so weeks, after people have already gone home.

It's devious, but doable, which should be frightening to anybody working security at one.

Sweet! Procreation works!

We should practice it some more and get better at it!

Maybe Cloward-Piven got their strategy from the Koran; the Muslims are instructed to breed and overwhelm us, which is what they are doing to the generous European welfare structure.

Big deal.

We could put every person in the world in Texas and still have room left over. (this is stolen from an unnamed site but I checked the math and it looks good:

Using the square mileage for Texas of 270,000sq miles: 1 square mile = 5280 x 5280 square feet = 27,878,400 square feet. So 268,581 square miles = 7,487,608,550,400. For simplicity say 7.5 x 10^12. That divided by 7 x 10^9 is indeed over 1000 square feet per person. So if we made one giant one-story compound over Texas, land, water, and all, we would each get a 1,000 square foot unit.

In 1984, Thomas Sowell did the math, based on 4 Billion humans: http://www.carlopelanda.com/econaut/Butler%20Richard%20on%20Population%20Growth.htm

Anyone should be able to extrapolate.

Exactly! You don't even have to "hold out". You just have to understand the mechanics of mixing ingredients, and how the ingredients don't have to mix every time the couple does.

Do people really not understand these things?

Isn’t 7 billion the number where our alien overlords will come back to harvest the crop they planted so long ago?

I think only insiders would have that information. Where'd you get it from?

58 “high-fertility countries” in Africa, Asia, Oceania, and Latin America.

In otherwords they are mostly from Muslim $hit hole countries. Just great.

It doesn’t even have to be that dramatic. Rather than poison them, why not disseminate a virus or untreatable bacteria? An aerosol MRSA would do the job, and could be argued to be a natural mutation. How about smallpox? A virulent variation on measles or German measles? There must be bioweapons in development that can be prevented by the normal vaccinations that residents of the industrialized world receive, but are hardly seen in the Third World.

Or we could use natural population pressures, and encourage scarcity wars. We could sell off some of our extra GWOT arms to various competing armies in Central Africa, Central America, or Southeast Asia and let them kill each other. As food prices continue to rise, and water gets scarce, we can withhold food aid.

There’s not enough time in the world to write all the novelistic variations of what can happen next.

That’s the reason AIDs is destroying Africa - all that cultural acceptance of “studliness.”
