This simulation gives an eerily omniscient vantage on the world as it fills.

In 1950, there were 2.5 billion humans. Today there are just over 7 billion. In another 30 years, according to U.S. Census Bureau projections, there will be more than 9 billion.
Brad Lyon has a doctoral degree in mathematics and does software development. He wanted to make those numbers visual. Last year he and designer Bill Snebold made a hugely popular interactive simulation map of births and deaths in the U.S. alone—the population of which is on pace to increase 44 percent by 2050. Now, Lyon takes on the world.

Exposing the Big Game 
Hummmm, just as I thought !
Oh boy. Did somebody say carrying capacity? Only in reference to animals, I guess. 😦
Good one!
This morning on the news they were talking about prices of food going up again. They also talked about water and how that too will be a precious commodity in the future. I have noticed more news reports about animals being too expensive to feed and farmers are giving their cattle away. I wonder how soon petri dish meat will be on store shelves. I think they have the technology down now.
