Scientists have mapped out a scenario of a global population crisis by the year 2064.
The research by Alessio Zaccone and the late Kostya Trachenko, published in the journal Chaos, Solitons & Fractals, uses a simple math equation to show how the world’s population has grown over the last 12,000 years. The model is then used to explore future possible scenarios.
One such scenario is that if Earth had an abrupt limit on how many people it can support, the global population could halve as early as 2064.
“Global population growth may be more sensitive to environmental and societal pressures than many traditional population models assumed,” Zaccone told Newsweek by email. “The study is not meant to predict the future with certainty, but rather to explore how human populations might respond under different stress scenarios.”

Paul Erlich Lives!
look at the picture of the writer of the article- its like she’s posting for online dating...
Sure, but only 4.66 years left.
Damn! I’ll probably be dead and miss it.

I like Grok's expert styling touch. With Grok, you can go catfishing and reel in some big ones.
Revelation 6:8
[8]So I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And the name of him who sat on it was Death, and Hades followed with him. And power was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, with hunger, with death, and by the beasts of the earth.
People make decisions; not populations.
People are having less kids because they are very expensive and infant mortality is a sad story in our past that isn’t (thank God) happening any longer. The birthrate is going down even in the least developed countries.
In any case, the decision to have kids, or one kid, or no kids is mostly in the hands of the parents (except in China, which has truly screwed over the country with the older one child enforcement).
BUT—it’s not the atmosphere, nature, lack of resources or global warming... It’s hundreds of millions of people deciding.
Interesting to note that people are not having kids in the developed world while they are having them in poor nations.
you kjnow what will cause a population crash? A supervolcano on the likes of Toba, where some 10,000 are estimated to have survived—that was some 70K years ago. We have been bunnies since.
More drug-induced crap...
i would date the one on the bottom in a second...the one on the top?? I’d be afraid of catching a disease!!!
Well they should be celebrating, right😎
AI will cover it 🤔
AI truck drivers, farmers taxis, musicians , actors, robots making burgers and pizzas,…..
It’s due to the AWFULs.
Can’t stand fake lips, they remind me of a sucker fish on the inside of an aquarium. Or a baboon’s ass. But that’s just me. :)
Paul Ehrlich’s unborn great, great grandkids will probably sue.
How Dare You!
The Reverend Malthus approves!
“...less kids...”
Fewer?
Back in the day, Rush would refute this with simple math which showed you could take the entire population of the Erf and place them all in Texas.
MIC DROP!
