    27,000 deaths a day approximately. According to the WHO 150,000 people die every day right now. 385,000 people are born every day. I mean it sounds bad, but in this context it doesn’t sound that bad…

      Exactly, and it’s not like it’s going to be me dying. It will be someone else. Thanks to denial, I’m immortal.

        Yeah, honestly I think the estimate may be low, or perhaps white the death toll is not what is expected the actual quality of life is going to take a huge bit.

          The planet can absolutely support more humans.

          We’d just have to be something that even halfway resembles responsible about it. Good luck with that part

            The planet can absolutely support more humans.

            As the world becomes more industrialized and its citizens desire more of the “first world life”, I’m starting to be wary of that view.

      Causing 15% of deaths is a big deal. Maybe not as much a big deal as Doomsday Next Tuesday, but a big deal nevertheless.

        You cannot compare this number and the current population. It’s not the same unit. We have humans/time and humans.
