The alarming increase is the estimate from a German foundation that monitors populations. It also suggests the 8 billion mark will be reached in the year 2023.
The estimate gauges that the world's population will have increased by 83 million since January 1 2019, which equates to roughly the number of inhabitants in Germany.
The globe's population is increasing at the rate of 156 every minute and Germany's Foundation for World Population (DSW) predict the 8 billion mark will be surpassed within four years.
The foundation also predicts that Africa's population will double over the next 20 years. An African mother bears 4.4 children on average compared to the global average of 2.4.

A government leader in Nigeria says his nation's growing population is more of a liability than an asset, reports say.
Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, vice-president of Nigeria, seems to think the third-world nation's economy isn't keeping pace with its population growth. “Clearly this population size will be more of a burden than an asset, unless there is an appropriate and commensurate growth in the economy to take care of the growing population,” he reportedly said.
Nigeria's population is expected to double by 2050, reports say. An estimated 402 million Nigerians will be crammed into the nation's 356,667 mi². That's more people than the current population of the USA in an area that is roughly the same size as Texas with its population of about 25 million.
Surrounding black nations are growing at about the same rate.
To blame, in part, is Western innovation that provides food production, healthcare, and disease control technologies to third world nations.
Oddly, Western nations welcome sub-Saharan Africans as if they were assets. What's more, Western governments have a history of underwriting the failed economies of third-world countries with massive support.
What's more, advocates of the man-made climate change cult invariably condemn Western nations for unrestrained population growth while ignoring the runaway surge in sub-Saharan African nations. One could get the idea that globalist Marxism actually prefers the world to be overrun by Africans.
The average IQ in Nigeria is 84. That's significantly higher than surrounding African nations, but substantially lower than the average IQ of 100 for ethnic white populations.
According to voanews.com ▼
Nigeria has the largest population in Africa, and it is growing at 3.2% a year. The U.S. Census Bureau says that at that rate, there will be an estimated 402 million people in Nigeria in 2050.
The major triggers for population increase include early marriages, high birth rates and lack of family planning access. But cultural and religious contributors are also impacting significantly.
Family planning activists such as Ejike Orji worry about uncontrolled population growth.
“The number of people we are producing every year is faster than our developmental rate,” Orji said. “And that is why Nigeria has become the No. 1 country with the highest number of poor people.”

I do wonder if covid will put a bit of a dent in these numbers eventually. Not so much from the raw death toll. But it seems like this is a particularly hard time to start an intimate relationship.

If these balance each other by the raw numbers, it's actually still a good thing in terms of curbing pop growth.
The over-35 women getting pregnant are probably having their last kid, whereas if younger women start having more kids, they could keep having kids for decades

And by and large whites have more income and so have a greater environmental impact

So take a look around and speak up, has your area doubled population or maybe you went the other way and population is stable or even falling?
