Well, Beijing will not be underwater in 2021 because Obama was elected and stopped the rise of the oceans just like he promised!

Interestingly, the really rich Islamic countries in the Middle East, Malaysia and even Indonesia is experiencing one thing that has kind of surprised Muslim cultural scholars: the population growth is slowing down. Indeed, the more affluent the population is, the less likely the population will have an explosion of child bearing.

The Ehrlichs' then and the Al Gores' now; naysayers that have been proven wrong, yet many still believe.

But their co-author, colleague and fellow traveller, John P. Holdren, has been Obama's science and technology adviser since day 1.

Norman Borlaug’s Green Revolution doubling and tripling food yield of major crops like rice and corn, the industrialization of agriculture with fertilizer and irrigation in many parts of the world, and other steps that dramatically increased yield.
That’s why we have 2 billion more people since 1990 but 200 million FEWER starving, in short, feeding 2.2 billion more fully and completely.
Science and industrialization brought production up faster than demand grew.

In rounded off numbers, there are about 7 billion on earth with 4 billion in Asia, 1 billion in Africa, 1 billion in Europe and Russia, and 1 billion the Americas.

By 2050, Asia will add a 5th billion and Africa a 2nd billion. By 2100 Africa will add a 3rd and 4th billion, for an 11 billion total.

Ray is correct about the falling fertility rates.
