The global population growth rate of 1.096%

This figure of 1.096 per cent is derived from the publication of the “a title=“The World Factbook (CIA)” href=“ target=” blank”>CIA “The world factbook” for 2012. It means that every year the world population increases by 1.096 per cent. For a population of 7 billion, the increase is 76,720,000, slightly more than the current population of France.

To realize what this represents, one can visualize a length of one metre, and think that every year one adds a good centimeter. At the end of ten years, it is one meter ten. After a hundred years, she doubled. This if the increase is constant. The demographers give us hope for a reduction in the rate of growth or even a decrease in the population once progress has been made everywhere.

The boredom is that there is already not enough space on the globe for the first decimeter: the one representing the wealthy today, to which the other nine decimeter of development candidates add at high speed V. So we’re trying to get an incompressible meter into a 10 cm diameter ball…

When we know:
– that the planet offers sufficient resources, under the current conditions of technologie, for only 700 million people living at the European stand-alone;
– that it would already be ten times too small if all nations shared the same standing;
– that the ascending phase of access to progress would lead to a well-known increase in fertility rate;
– that conversion to green technologies will inevitably take decades;
– that developing countries will be reluctant to apply them as we did not apply them during our own ascent and that this would slow their growth;
– that they will never reduce pollution and environmental degradation to zero;
– that countries that have already achieved progress will see their pollution increase even when their population stabilizes:

It is clear that the current evolution is not durables, and that it will never be durables if we do not seriously limit the world population. And what is the source of this world population? Human sex. So he’s the one to be taken in the collimator…
