How many humans there are in the world? World Population: 7,000 million in 2012

The world population continues to grow at an alarming rate, especially in poorer areas. According to recent data, we are now nearly 6800 million people who inhabit the earth and according to UN projections, will be within two years, in 2012 as we move past the psychological barrier of 7,000 million.

But that's not all, according to the Population of the United Nations, in four decades, in 2050 the figure will reach 9,000 million human beings. If we find the population growth in recent years can see that the growth rate of world population is growing at a faster pace.

This would not, a priori, a problem, but if we analyze the data well see that this population growth can lead to true human and environmental disasters. The debate about whether our planet is ready to support such a large population is served. There are even experts who argue that such figures are not real because it would have a large population that is not controlled by the statistics (especially in Asian countries like China or Africa) and just this difference may be small now within 50 years can lead to even higher figures.

It is also important to look at where growth will occur. In the more developed countries such as Europe, the population will remain stable over the next 50 years and even slightly reduced growth. In the case of Spain, in 2050 the number of people will be very similar to 2009. In contrast, the poorest areas today, such as Asia and Africa and not have the resources needed to support the current population and will experience rapid growth in the number of people.

Africa will rise from 700 million in 1999 to more than 1,700 in 2050, ie more than double in half a century. And in the case of Asia, in the same period, will increase from 3,600 million to 5,200 inhabitants. It requires a thorough analysis of the resources of the planet and every part of the same to ensure that population growth has serious human disasters, take measures to prevent global crises of all kinds.
