Quote from: K-Dog on Oct 26, 2023, 08:55 PMThe large white area represents the next century. Eight billion are here and eight billion more are coming.
Actually, that assumption is already probably wrong, because 8B more coming assumes the fertility and replacement rate of Births remains at least even, but it already is not, and dropping quickly. So we probably will not bring 8B new Homo Saps into the world between now and 2100. Even if we only deliver 4B neo-homo buns out of the ovens over the next 75 years, that still means we have a lot of useless eaters to dispose of and recycle into hopefully some more friendly type of organism to the planetary ecosystem. All those good organic compounds remaining in the lifeless Homo Sap corpses will get eaten by something and the stuff will get redistributed through the food chain in a very equitable socialist fashion as the system rebalances itself. There will still be plenty of life on the 3rd planet from the sun in 2100, just not a whole lot of the organisms will be sentient.
