By Steve Bareham, Selkirk College: The world is home to 7 billion people, but new projections from the UN suggest that this number will grow to more than 10 billion by 2050 and perhaps to 15 billion by 2100. Already there is starvation and water shortages; where twice as many people will fit is a pressing global issue, but it isn't much discussed by people or governments and significant advance planning is needed to avoid absolute disaster. What should we all know? What can be done? Watch this video if you care about your children and grandchildren. This production is in concert with two eBooks: PROGENTER: Mayans, the Skull & the Chimera of Immortality, now available at Amazon, Kobo, Barnes & Noble and other online book stores. Find the online stores here: www.summapublishing.net The books wrap facts around fiction to explore this pressing global population issue. This is something we should all care about, but it's not on most radars. If we wait too long, it will be too late.

The United Nations sees 10 billion by 2050 But that’s nothing…
New UN projections see humans numbering 15 billion by 2100.That spells CATASTROPHE!
How did we get here?And why does no one seem to know or care?
It took 1 billion years for earth to get to 1 billion people: beginning of time to 1804
The juggernaut then built steam • 1 billion people to 1804 • 2 billion people by 1927 (123 additional years) • 3 billion people by 1959 (32 additional years) • 4 billion people by 1974 (15 additional years) • 5 billion people by 1986 (12 additional years) • 7 billion people by 2012 (26 additional years) …and growing now by 74 million more per year
8 billion more people is equivalent to2 more China’s and 2 more India’s
130 million babies are born each year …that’s 356,000 per day, or 1 billion more every 13.7 years
57 million die each year, so… …that’s a net gain of 73 million people every year
Africa will grow the most, from 1 billion people today to 3.6 billion by 2100
In the year 1900, the average lifespan was only 50, now it’s about 80.
Today, far more babies live, so do more mothers in child birth, most notably in Africa and Asia, the fastest growing regions
It should be good news from all angles: healthier babies, healthier mothers, and people live longer
More than a billion go hungry everyday Food is distributed unevenly. Some countries have surpluses, while others starve. Can earth feed 8 billion more?
We have to get our best minds thinking…and not in 30 years…NOW!
It may mean dramatic choices… Like more sharing of resources, more education, birth control in the developing world
There’s a chasm to be crossed… This IS human kinds greatest challenge, no doubt. Are we up to it?
