Human population is expected to reach 8 billion later this year. Or it might have already happened. It’s hard to keep up. Two hundred years ago there were only 1 billion humans on planet earth. Two thousand years ago, it was probably about 100 million. And two hundred thousand years ago, there was maybe about a million of us. Population growth increases exponentially, like the grains of rice on a chess board that double with each square. But that isn’t the whole story, because as population increases so does it’s consumption of resources. Not just more people, but more people each using more. Exponential growth growing exponentially.
