At the 52nd meeting of the Population Commission (ECOSOC) United Nations, which took place in early April, considered such an important aspect of further development human society as our population growth the planet.
Today it is estimated at 7.7 billion earthlings. AND although the growth trend is slightly declining, as noted in the report commission, in general, the increase in numbers will continue, and by 2050 9.7 billion people will live on Earth, and by the end centuries – at least 11 billion.

The report was posted on the official website of the UN, and it called far ambiguous attitude towards him. As the conspiracy theorists said right away, humanity has been “counted”, but in what way? Clear according to census statistics conducted in countries of the world.
However, these figures, independent researchers claim, completely unrealistic, since it’s even hard to imagine that third world countries, especially African ones, have precise population data. But this is not the biggest vice of the world. statistics on the number of earthlings. The main trouble is that Asian countries and especially China and India specifically overestimate these numbers, and on such an outrageous scale that talking about the population of the planet is simply impossible.

There is official evidence that in China from 1850 to 1950 in An average of 300 – 400 million people lived (at some periods – less, in some – more, but relative stability persisted). When suddenly over the past 60 years in the PRC began to live almost 1.5 billion people! Where from? This despite the fact that at this time China survived the revolution, several wars, the fight against fertility, famine after the thoughtless policies of Mao Zedong (for example, after extermination of sparrows). That is, nothing in this country foreshadowed and did not provide such a fantastic population growth, rather vice versa. But … but the PRC government clearly understood during this time, that population can be a strategic weapon in world politics.

The Government of India, whose population is allegedly doing the same, also makes up more than a billion people. But in the cities of this country only 75 million live, where is the rest of the billion? In the villages or what? Moreover, if we turn to the numbers of production food of one and another country with a billion people, then they don’t even have an approximate opportunity to feed such horde of people.
But when you consider that China and India provide the UN with the most big puffy numbers, perhaps other Asian countries (and only Asian? for example, scientist Andrei Fursov claims that no more than 90 million live in Russia now, everything else is postscript), and African, most likely, these data taken from the ceiling, it turns out a very interesting picture: the population planets are at least three times less than official data, but in anyway in the world no more than 3 billion, and predict growth (and even almost a century in advance) with this approach in general is absurd.
