nasty little facts on overpopulation.

-  The United Nations Population Fund estimate the population will rise to around 9.3 billion by 2050 

-  Population is currently growing at an annual rate of 1.2 per cent, or 77 million people per year.

-  We hit our first billion mark in 1800 at which time the Industrial Revolution kicked in.

-  At 1900, we were at 1.6 billion. By 1960, in 60 short years, we nearly doubled that as we reached 3 billion.

- Six countries account for half of this annual growth: India for 21 per cent; China for 12 per cent; Pakistan for 5 per cent; Nigeria for 4 per cent; Bangladesh for 4 per cent, and Indonesia for 3 per cent
