Well, that little exchange was certainly enlightening. Thanks for clearing it up guys.

Isssssssssssssssssssssssssss tooooooooooooooooooo
I was hoping someone would switch from “are not” to “is too” halfway through and trip the other person up, like in Bugs Bunny cartoons. Darn.
Duck season! Fire!
nasty wabbit!
He don’t know me vewwy well, do he?
Thank you tracer - I’ve now spit Diet Coke all over my desk at work after the “Duck season! FIRE!” comment…best damn laugh I’ve had all day.

Then I succeeded in fooling you, Falcon. It’s really Elmer Season.
You wiggley wascal! Too many wabbits in da woild. Too much popewation, and it’s gowing warger and warger by da day.
Why should we be concerned about population growth rates of 1, 2 and 3 percent a year? Doesn’t that mean that population is growing very slowly?
Small percentages of very large numbers add up quickly. For example, the world’s current population is estimated to be 6 billion, with an annual growth rate of 1.31 percent. Yet, at this rate, 78 million people (more than the population of Vietnam) will be added to the population this year alone.
Another way to see the impact of growth rates is to consider the doubling time of a population. In Saudi Arabia, for example, the population is growing at the rate of 3 percent and if this rate continues, it will double in just 23 years. That isn’t much time to build roads, houses, schools and sanitation facilities to accommodate twice as many people. At the world’s present growth rate of 1.31 percent, the Earth’s population will double in just 53 years.
In order to calculate the doubling time of a population, divide the annual growth rate into 70. For example, 70/1.31 = 53 years [doubling time for world population]. The"magic number" 70 is derived from a logarithmic equation.)

Read it and weep.
Yes, if the world’s population growth rate remained steady at 1.31 percent, the population would double in 53 years.
Fortunately, other data that you yourself have posted says that the rate of population increase is declining, and will likely be down to less than half a percent (0.5%) by the middle of the next century.
If you’re going to post alarming statistics, at least post consistent ones.
Tracer, neither you or I can dispute that billions more will crowd the planet in the next 25 years.
