ALERT! 9.2 Billion People Estimated to Populate the World in 2050 According to Friedman


What is more horrifying than knowing the world is already over populated with 6.7 billion people? Knowing that over the next 43 years, world population will most likely increase by 2.5 billion! According to Tom Friedman's book "Hot, Flat and Crowded", the population surge is expected happen mostly in undeveloped nations, where government is fragile and poor. Could this increase population call for more violence and extreme civil unrest within the nations? How will unstable government be able to cope with the increase demands of a growing nation?
