World population crisis

The UN Population Division report of 2022 projects world population to continue growing after 2050, although at a steadily decreasing rate, to peak at 10.4 billion in 2086, and then to start a slow decline to about 10.3 billion in 2100 with a growth rate at that time of -0.1%.

This estinmate is dropping almost every year. If the worlds population growth goes into reverse

How will we cope with a shrinking workforce, an aging population, and potential economic challenges, but also potentially lower resource consumption and environmental impact

@SomeMichGuy Agreed but if that happens who cares ??
@Captain Oh it'll be a return to some bizarre-o stone age with elements of medieval, homesteading, and modern times.

@SomeMichGuy Actually a global theormo nuclear war might do it - but if you think about more people died of spanish flu than in the first world war.

And the fatality nujmbers for the escaped bioweapon are less than 1% of the population - not really significant. If India or China won the world cup Im sur eth esurge in birth rates would more than accomodate for that.

@SomeMichGuy And the fallout reaches the sea and then... Apparently were only supposed to eat salmon once a week because of the mercury in it, I wonder what the safe level for plutonium and uranium is ?
