Ten Billion People on Earth: Nightmare or Non-Event? - Business News - CNBC
Can someone explain this?
The production of a single cup of coffee requires 100 liters (26 gallons) of water, while a chocolate bar draws upon 27,000 liters (7,132 gallons). Even a simple computer search for www.CNBC.com consumes the same energy as boiling a kettle.
Good excuse for WW3?
Are you one of these Neo Malthusians, then? Or about to be. I do hope not.

Them there fucking climate migrants; coming 'ere, stealing our weather..., Britain will develop militarized borders to stave off mass immigration. “Climate migrant” could become an everyday term, he said.

Interesting piece. Thanks.

Using some obscure calculation methods it's amazing what folks come up with.Originally Posted by buddahas
As to the article, it's all been said before and years ago...do you remember the "Population Bomb', a book from the sixties?
2100 is a long time away.
I doubt that many current predictions will be found to be accurate. (often aren't)
In any case many of us won't be around long enough to find out.
And then there's still the questions around Dec. 21 of this year.

Yes there are

Don't be silly.
There's also a chocolate teapot orbiting Mars. It's too small to be visible to telescopes
Only one?
I guess.
I'll give the article a fuller read later on in the day.
At that point I may be able to comment.(further)
Too early PST.
I'll be waiting with bated breath.
Tis a smokescreen... hiding the fact the planet will be kaput well before 2100...well before
The planet will keep on rolling on. I doubt humans will be extinct by 2100. Maybe our civilizations will be.
We could all sit outside on banana lounges discussing the best way to rebuild a 4WD transmission and agree, through shared stories of conquests supporting our assertions, that there is no basis to the proposition that those least assured of their persuasions are the first to condemn others for theirs.
Humans cannot survive what is coming...the race if fooked...no joking
The human population has increased due largely to our excessive consumption of the planet's resources.
As those resources diminish we will either have to invent new forms of energy and food production or our population will collapse through a combination of wars, which we are already seeing, and starvation of those who lose out.
Our generation are the lucky ones who get to consume the resources; I wouldn't want to be here in a hundred years' time. Is Somalia Mankind's future?
Migrated
Worse than that sorry
