3,114,483,187th which makes me a bit older than you


MikeCapon - 27/10/11 at 11:04 AM

2,872,124,114th which makes me a right old gimmer.

Just looked further down the page - it seems that the worlds population has TRIPLED in my lifetime - that's a bit scary

4,232,841,446th

Scary climb in the population since the 1950's looking at the graph.

And to think we regularly hear of the need to cull badgers, seagulls, deer, etc...

I am not a number, I am a free man!


Dear god those numbers are frightening A strong case for much stricter birth control.

Tbh population growth is probably one of the biggest problem facing both this country and the world. But no one likes to talk about it, because to do so is political suicide! Of course if we curbed immigration the growth of this countries population would reduce quite significantly, and then reach a point where it levels off and starts decreasing (like Germany).

4,771,632,544th BTW

That would make your birthday some time in the 1940's. Note that the chart is predicting numbers out to 2050.

that figure is how many people were alive when you were born, not how many are alive now and older than you.

I think that the most alarming 'fact' is that about one tenth of the people who have ever lived, are alive now!

I off to top myself.

apologies I got a bit carried away there - I'll stand in the corner with dunce hat on for the rest of the lesson

2 351 323 621
Population trebled since I was born. About time we had a decent war or plague.

People say age is just a number. That's true - the older I get, the number I feel.
