10.9/7.53 = 1.45, but that 10.9 has high error bars. The U.N. estimation is a 80% chance it’s between 10 and 12 Billion in 80 years. https://population.un.org/wpp/Graphs/Probabilistic/POP/TOT/9...

That’s quite a bit of uncertainty to make any real definitive statements beyond continuing growth expected.

As a point of comparison, the global population has almost quadrupled in the previous 80 years. So even in the worst case scenario, population growth is dropping spectacularly.

Absolutely, the trends seem very obvious. The global population is unlikely to double in the next 100 years.

I am mostly simply reacting to people trying to use specific estimates.
