Most of us have known for a long time that it’s off by a few billion. They like to throw out big numbers for their manufactured crises and agendas. At the end of the day the answers are right the Bible. Read and gain discernment.
quote “The relocated population is usually counted precisely because dam companies pay compensation to those affected”
there is your answer, hidden deep in the article.
since dam companies pay compensation to those affected... magically those affected went up dramatically.
Zero and negative birth rate notwithstanding, the so-called scientists will once again find a way to cry overpopulation to counter families with children making a comeback.
The people being relocated are the ones who lived in the lowlands right along the dammed rivers. I’m curious about what assumptions the researchers made about population distribution farther away from those rivers.
In any case, I’d be willing to bet that every human on earth has been observed and counted by satellites by now, with the possible exceptions of those few who remain indoors or underground at all times, and I wouldn’t even be too sure about them.
Conservative realistic estimate: ~9.1 billion
"Darren lives in Portland, has a cat, and writes/edits about sci-fi and how our world works. You can find his previous stuff at Gizmodo and Paste if you look hard enough."
Portland cat person. I smell Democrat times two.... But that's only an estimate.
Not to worry. There is a die-off coming soon.
Are these the same type of “scientists” who say that cow farts lead to Armageddon? Stop eating meat, don’t drive a SUV.

I love animals, they’re delicious!
“The relocated population is usually counted precisely because dam companies pay compensation to those affected.
Also plenty of reason for government official corruption to skim money from the project.
It is important that we locate and identify every human on earth for their upcoming Mark.
I’m confused.
The article is saying there are likely *more* people than estimated.
But the commenters seem to think the article is saying there are *fewer* people than estimated.
Did anyone read the article before commenting?
Starting over again at 1? Ok arm raised. Present and still breathing!
“dam companies pay compensation ... on-the-ground population counts that are not skewed”. How does paying the counted not skew the count?
This article is not worth dam. In my experience in the US both over-counts and undercounts are admitted with the hope that they offset each other, which they more or less do in the larger population, but not in local population counts.
Sometimes college students, out-of-town workers are counted twice (just as they are registered to vote twice). Sometimes they are not counted because neither counting jurisdiction thinks they should be the ones to count them.
Sometimes legal and illegal immigrants are not counted, sometimes counted twice. Mexican Presidents Fox and Calderon won because they won the vote of Mexicans in the US. They are often counted by both countries.
Is the Pope counted in both the South side of Chicago, South America and the Vatican? By some, yes. The same is true of missionaries, traveling evangelists and salesmen (evangelists for their product).
Some people are just hard to count. They are recluse, homeless, fugitives and do not want to be counted .. or their presence acknowledged.
I knew two census taker friends who each worked half of the area I worked door-to-door for both politics, protest organizations, and insurance investigations. We would talk and compare notes. One was much better and seeing people and consciously choosing whether to count them or not. The other had a personality that made a lot of assumpti0ons and bias.
The Georgia Guidestones want human population down to 500 million. It is necessary to know accurate totals to inject everyone with the vaccine bioweapon.
Don’t tell the WEF and Bill Gates of Hell, or they will try harder to kill us......
How on earth did they miss so badly.
It’s so simple. Count the number of legs and divide by two.
,,, even there, 53 to 84 is a big window. Let's not pay attention to anything like this until "scientists" can get to a single number.
Most countries have one or more methods to estimate populatuon: census, survey, and vital registration; so, the statistics can be compared. While we don’t know exactly how many people at any given time, I don’t think the estimates are off by several billions.
I have a sneaky feeling that the term “scientist” is being used recklessly these days.
“Scientists May Have Severely Miscalculated How Many...”
Indeed. The number of adherents leaving Islam in America is now estimated to be 100,000 apostates annually and rising. Islam membership is now in a downward spiral in America. The leftists and mohammadens say that the apostate number can be balanced by new Islam recruits, but neither group offers any evidence to support that assertion.
