That population increase statistic was a little shocking (+2.7B in our lifetimes). I suppose I knew it already, but it hadn’t clicked how crazy that is.

It would be much scarier if it was decreasing or staying flat, though.

I don't doubt you, I just don't know anything about this. My first guess is that economically it would be potentially catastrophic.
