Can we be sure the world's population will stop rising?

World's population growing more than projected - could be true or not, but in the long range it will dramatically collapse, most likely by very unpleasant ways.

Could happen that way, we can only hope not. - the sad part, is that it is well within everyones indervidual power to avoid that situation

Trouble is woman have maternal instinct and men want to get laid 24/7. Same for any speices - all will over breed given the chance, the only advantage humans have is 2 methods to control it.

1) WMDs
2) Contraception and material distractions

3.) Epidemics
4.) Mass starvation
5.) Natural disaster due to erosion and environmental effects coming from over-exploitation of naturaöl habitats.
6.) Cosmic disaster (meteor impact, radiation front hitting Earth)
7.) Geologic disaster (Yosemite super volcano for example)

Life is more fragile and uncertain than you might imagine, JU-88.

We already have many of those on a regular basis and they barely make a dent.

We had miniature toy versions of these, to please bored children when they watch TV. The real stuff I talk about we have had NOT. At least not since the first hominides started to walk on only their back legs.
