• At the present rate of global population growth, which has been 2% per year for the past 150 years, the world%26#039;s population will be more than 30 billion in the year 2100 A.D.
  
  The experts deny this, claiming the growth rate will taper off for one reason or another, but they%26#039;ve been doing that ever since Paul Ehrlich first warned us back in 1968 in the book %26quot;The Population Bomb%26quot;.
  
  They keep moving the date back for this tapering off, because they originally said it would begin happening in the 90%26#039;s; but the population just keeps on growing at 2% per year. Get out your calculator and do the math yourself. The only things that will stop it are the things that always stop it: war, pestilence, or famine. But the cures are as bad as the ailment.
  
  Just look around you. Wherever you see a person, there will be five people in the year 2100. Wherever there are 10 there will be 50. Now that%26#039;s what I call human impact on the environment. World Almanac
