Static linear model predictions regarding human behavior are particularly unreliable. If you look back twenty years ago, most predictions overshot by a long shot. Mexico's population in 1910 was 10 mill. 1950 was 30 mill. Today (50 years later), it is just shy of 100 mill. Current growth 2.3 % That is no prediction, those are real numbers, and if they are wrong, the true figure is probably larger. Most Latin American countries are in the same league (except for Argentina, Chile and Uruguay.) Besides... would you care to point me to your supporting evidence that world population will top 8 bill and then frop ? mean while..... unfpa.org 8.9 bill by 2050 etc. Not that such number is a great number.... the impact on resources is impossible to assess. For example, in Brazil, they keep burning the rain forest do people can have their "plot of land" must go now.... ciao and frankly I do not see it "reduced"
