Earth's Population Hits Seven Billion Mark
Earth's population has officially hit the seven billion mark.
With the number of the world's citizens growing at 10,000 per day, the controversial topic of population control refuses to go away.
From The Guardian:
Thus our population rises at the same time as the number of people Earth can sustain shrinks, while spreading industrialisation and western consumption patterns only accelerate this process.The poor should get richer; but high birth rates, compounded by resource depletion and environmental degradation actively hinder development.
