I recall reading in the mid 1960s that the world's population at that time could be crammed shoulder to shoulder into an area the size of two "Isle of Wights! And that in 750 years time the whole of Earth's surface would be needed for that task. These "Malthusian" predictions might have been overstating population grown ... but it is food for thought. |
