More than
7,057,608,000 are expected to be alive on earth by the end of World Population
Day this Wednesday. The global population is still growing overall, but
demographic discrepancies are widening.
More than 7
billion people inhabit planet earth, with the overall growth continuing
unabated on World Population Day.
According
to figures from DSW, the German world population foundation, the number of
people on earth rises by 2.6 per second, 158 per minute, over 225,000 per day,
or almost 83 million per year.
Modern
population growth is fueled primarily by Africa, Asia and Latin America, while
populations are steady - or even sinking - in much of Europe.
DSW
estimates that the number of people in Africa will increase more than threefold
this century, reaching around 3.5 billion.
A
spokeswoman for the DSW foundation, Ute Stallmeister, told the dapd news agency
that this was largely owing to the number of unplanned births in Africa. World
leaders will convene in the British capital on Wednesday for the London Summit
on Family Planning, which hopes to raise $4 billion (3.25 billion euros) to
give an additional 120 million women access to contraception by 2020.
The UN
estimates that 220 million women in the developing world do not want children,
but also cannot access contraception. The cause has attracted high-profile
patrons such as Microsoft mogul Bill Gates.
"Because
we didn't have contraception or family planning on the agenda, we weren't
putting new money into it," Gates said in an interview with the Reuters news
agency. "We weren't saying this is a priority. So this is our moment in
time to say this is a priority and we need to fund it."
Countries
like Germany, on the other hand, are dealing with lower birth rates and higher
life expectancies, with the population dropping slightly even after being
bolstered by immigration.
"It's
a challenge of historic dimensions, because the number of people of employment
age will drop by about 30 percent by 2050," social scientist Steffen
Kröhner told Germany's ARD broadcaster in an interview. "I wouldn't class
it as a catastrophe. But we will have to say farewell to a lot of things, not
least the idea of perpetually increasing wealth. And we will need to come up
with totally new ways of thinking when it comes to pensions, healthcare, and
infrastructure in more sparsely populated rural areas."

“… 3 - Longer Life is Going to Happen, But…
Here is one that is a review. We keep bringing it up because Humans don't believe it. If you're going to start living longer, there are those who are frightened that there will be overpopulation. You've seen the way it is so far, and the geometric progression of mathematics is absolute and you cannot change it. So if you look at the population of the earth and how much it has shifted in the last two decades, it's frightening to you. What would change that progression?
The answer is simple, but requires a change in thinking. The answer is a civilization on the planet who understands a new survival scenario. Instead of a basic population who has been told to have a lot of children to enhance the race [old survival], they begin to understand the logic of a new scenario. The Akashic wisdom of the ages will start to creep in with a basic survival scenario shift. Not every single woman will look at herself and say, "The clock is ticking," but instead can say, "I have been a mother 14 times in a row. I'm going to sit this one out." It's a woman who understands that there is no loss or guilt in this, and actually feels that the new survival attribute is to keep the family small or not at all! Also, as we have said before, even those who are currently ignorant of population control will figure out what is causing babies to be born [Kryon joke].
Part of the new Africa will be education and healing, and eventually a zero population growth, just like some of the first-world nations currently have. Those who are currently tied to a spiritual doctrine will actually have that doctrine changed (watch for it) regarding Human birth. Then they will be able to make free choice that is appropriate even within the establishment of organized religion. You see, things are going to change where common sense will say, "Perhaps it would help the planet if I didn't have children or perhaps just one child." Then the obvious, "Perhaps I can exist economically better and be wiser with just one. It will help the one!" Watch for these changes. For those of you who are steeped in the tradition of the doctrines and would say that sounds outrageously impossible, I give you the new coming pope [Kryon smile]. For those of you who feel that uncontrolled procreation is inevitable, I encourage you to see statistics you haven't seen or didn't care to look at yet about what first-world countries have already accomplished on their own, without any mandates. It's already happening. That was number three.….”
