Earth at 7 billion People

Earth at 7 billion People

Earth crossed 7 billion in population on the October 31st, 2011, and growing quickly. We have had a massive impact ont he environment. Here is an amazing infographic with amazing statistics on the same!

Estimates put the planet at 8 billion in another 14 years, which is an eye blink compared to the 123 years it took us to go from 1 billion to 2 billion.

India is set to surpass China as the world's most populous by 2030.

That means a weighty impact on our planet. How weighty? Our friends at Masters Degree Online did the math and found that we humans account for just .00018% of the earth’s biomass, yet we use 20% of its resources.

And before you start arguing that our weight demands that kind of use, the data shows we humans collectively tip the scales at 350 million tons, while the lowly ants would crush us with their 3 billion collective tons.

Good Presentation!!! But as you said in 2nd slide that "5 people enter the world and only two leave it" - I want to tell you that those two people does not leave with their body. Hence the body weight has to be counted in your research, then may you will have variation in conclusion.

:sigh:thanks for the information.
It is high time to share the mother earth to live intrue spirit of being called as 'Global village' , so as to avoid vast barren lands with out any development at some places & with no place to live-in at few other places.

This proves the revised age old saying- "There is enough in this world for everyone's need but not for the greed of the rich AND UNSCRUPLOUS DICTATORS which causes the disparity and population growth purely due to poverty".

very good presentation but disappointing that we are not doing enough to control population in india..... we should ignore religious politics and go ahead to control population ..... we have to do it fast before it is too late.... need to apply one or two rules which china is following to control population growth......
