According to UN figures, that's how many people now live on our planet. Holy moly. It's going to be a tough century or two ahead.

Tough century indeed, because if the population growth stays like it is now, we're going to have 14 billion by the end of it.

Thing is it won't, most projections I think are saying it'll be more like 9 or 10 by the end of the century. Growth will slow down once both child mortality and numbers of babies go down in less developed areas, which they are already showing to do. Still though, that's quite a tough ask to sustain that many people. I believe we're capable at this point in time, but down the road...ehh, gunna be some major food and water problems.
