80 million new people each year
| Is there a population bomb waiting to explode? Certainly the world's human population has swelled dramatically during the 20th Century, but there are trend lines which point to a leveling off in the numbers of new humans born. This episode looks at the issue of population growth and its impact on the environment. During the 90 seconds of this movie, an on-screen population clock dramatically ticks off the numbers of humans born before the episode ends. |
