May 20, 201412 yr There are more humans alive today than there has ever been if you added up all the humans who have died over the thousands of years we have walked the earth Fact!!!
May 20, 201412 yr If we're saying alive today, at what point are we adding them up to? Yesterday? If so, probably not true
May 20, 201412 yr If you knew exactly the number of humans alive right now then it is greater than the total number of all humans that have ever died Factamundo my friend
May 20, 201412 yr If you knew exactly the number of humans alive right now then it is greater than the total number of all humans that have ever died Factamundo my friend This means that we are nowhere near close to having more alive than dead. In fact, there are 15 dead people for every person living. We surpassed seven billion dead way back between 8000BC and AD1. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-16870579

May 20, 201412 yr Interesting read Makes sense I always thought it must be right as to be right every human alive would only have had to had on average 2+ children grow up and reproduce for it to be true which I didn't think was far fetched And the fact that a few generations are alive today too However if 1b were alive 200 yrars a go it must be shite

May 20, 201412 yr Interesting question for you What has "coincided" with the rocketing population? The discovery of Oil, without Oil the last 100 years would have been unbelievably different Edited May 20, 201412 yr by Danny G
May 20, 201412 yr The first world war offically ended on 3rd october 2010. Yep summat to so with paying off the last of the crippling war debt from the treaty of Versailles, this is what had a huge influence in causing ww2
May 20, 201412 yr The Second world war is still ongoing, as there has been no formal treaty between Russia and China? (iirc) over some daft little islands... that said they're probably forgotten themselves
May 20, 201412 yr Interesting question for you What has "coincided" with the rocketing population? And agriculture!
May 20, 201412 yr Interesting question for you What has "coincided" with the rocketing population? A rise in Islamic Fundamentalism?
May 21, 201412 yr It's a bit chicken and egg though that graph BD I suppose If the global population was smaller then there would be less demand for oil I wonder what that graph would look like for wheat production etc
May 21, 201412 yr It's a bit chicken and egg though that graph BD I suppose If the global population was smaller then there would be less demand for oil I wonder what that graph would look like for wheat production etc I know what you mean. The thrust is that the world population growth was enabled by the incrteased oil production; places became sustainable to develop/farm with energy that otherwise wouldn't have. There are some good reads
May 21, 201412 yr I know what you mean. The thrust is that the world population growth was enabled by the incrteased oil production; places became sustainable to develop/farm with energy that otherwise wouldn't have. There are some good reads Oil has without doubt been the driver of the last 100 years, pretty much everything can be traced back to Oil and its increased production. I watched a Good doc about it ages ago, its crazy how much of an influence it has been.
May 21, 201412 yr Necessity is the mother of invention or... scenario B. - We (or rather, they) will be fucked. Edited May 21, 201412 yr by Youri McAnespie
May 21, 201412 yr What we going to do when it all runs out?? Easily extractable oil is slowly running out however there are huge deposits of shale Oil etc I wouldnt worry about it for another 150 years
