Look around you: what do you see? People? That would make sense, because there are more people are living on the earth now than ever before! Look around you again: what do you see? More people? That would also make sense.

The United Nations (UN) just announced that the seven billionth baby was born today in India. With the global population growing by approximately 200,000 people a day, scientists predict that the world could reach 10 billion before the century is up! Then again, they predicted in 1999 that the world wouldn’t hit 7 billion until 2015…

These experts also say that by the end of the century, India will beat China as the world’s most populated city.

With this information, the world leaders at the UN are trying to tackle the problems associated with population growth, like how to accommodate resources like food, water, and oil for the long run.

Fun fact about the 7 billion people on this earth: 3.5 million of them are on Facebook!
