Now it will shrink back to its 1 billion again.

Elmat, I am shocked, shocked that you would say this! With current world population at ~6.3 billion, that would be a huge population decline. You better not tell Jay! Who's going to buy all the gold that's coming on stream as the miners ramp up?

That's an easy one. The Earth's population has always been at about one billion.

Not it hasn't. Throughout most of history the human population was much lower then that. It reached 1billion in the 1800s. Now it is much larger then 1 billion, a little bit larger then 6billion.

I do expect population growth to level off, maybe even reverse, but there is nothing special about 1billion.
