Eight billion, now what?

It was announced today that we’ve now passed the bar of 8 billion humans on earth. Next year, India is expected to surpass China as the most populous country. 

According to the UN, much of the population growth expected between now and 2050 will be coming from just eight countries – and half of them are in sub-Saharan Africa while the rest are in Asia. 

Andrea Wojnar, India’s representative for the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), asserts that the story behind the world's eight billion population today is a story of triumph. She seems gung-ho about this big number and says that the majority of the world's population growth is concentrated in poorer countries with significantly lower emissions rates. 

They're not the ones creating the situation. That we knew, but they sure will eventually create their own emissions, drink the water and eat the food the planet won’t have. 

To make matters worse, since the West isn’t ready to pay willy-nilly for improving the education of these baby-mega-producing countries, guess where are 4 billion Africans will be forced to migrate to?
