In a story about swelling population in Developing countries, they sure emphasize the importance of fighting HIV/AIDS a lot. Helping people live longer and engage in promiscuous sex more easily seems an odd way to fight over-population -- but, hey, if the UN says that's what is required, I'm sure they are correct!

The next few months will play a big part in what the future population of the world might be in 2050.
Thee are various forces, both benevolent and malevolent at play in the world which influence global population.
How the current "leaders" of the world play their cards in the next few weeks and months will be very interesting. People should not underestimate the potential insanity of certain "leaders" of the world. Those who have made thousands of life and death decisions in the past will be tested enormously in the coming months.
God however is in control, and will decide what will unfold on the world stage.

9 billion people isn't a big deal.

What is not mentioned in the article is that this is the expected PEAK population. It will not increase after that.

If I could place a wager, I would say this will not happen. I fully expect some kind of cataclysmic plague to sweep the world. We use way too much medicine (antibiotics), no one knows how to fend for themselves and people travel the globe in a day.
I think all these factors and more I haven't mentioned or thought of will combine to wipe out a significant portion of the population in the next 50 years.

I highly doubt this to be true. What, with the continuous genocides the UN supports in Africa we know this can't be true, plus the innability of these places to feed the populatons they have now, show that a 10 fold increase of the population is simply unsustainable. Continued resistance by the Europeons toward GE agricultural foods, and thus preventing them from being used to feed these people ensures that those population numbers will never be seen. Not to mention natural disasters such as drought and crop failure world wide, and a world war or two. Those are very "liberal" figures to say the least.

Median fertility is expected to decline from 2.6 children per woman today to slightly over 2 children per woman in 2050.
Um, this is below replacement rate. Translation, the world's population will start to decline in the not-too-distant future . . . everywhere.

I am sure that the next Bilderberg meeting will address the population issue.
Here is some scripture for these wicked people
(Romans 2:8-11)
Wrath and fury to those who selfishly disobey the truth and obey wickedness.
Yes affliction and anguish will come upon every man who has done evil,the Jew first,then the Greek.
But there will be glory, honor,and peace for everyone who has done good,likewise the Jew first, then the Greek.
With God there is no favoritism.

Not good. Not likely either. Remember AIDS, CJDv, Avian flu, glow-bull warning et cetera? All these 'prey' on the least competent.

"Not good."
It's great news. The more people the better. Living standards go up in direct proportion to population growth. Who do you think devise all the inventions and processes that improve living standards? People.
