The earth's population has exceeded the 6.5 billion mark, and the world's new births and deaths are every secondDate: February 27, 2006 |According to the U.S. Census Bureau's Center for International Programs, the Earth's population will exceed the 6.5 billion mark at 7:16 p.m. ET on Feb. 25 (8:16 a.m. EDT on Feb. 26).
Of course, this is only the result of theoretical estimates. It is possible that a week or a year ago, the Earth welcomed its 6.5 billion members; Or maybe a month from now, the 6.5 billion citizens of the planet will be born somewhere in the world. Regardless, the Earth's population growth trend is an indisputable fact, and it poses an even greater challenge to how the planet can feed so many people.
The agency also expects the global population to reach 7 billion by October 16, 2012 at 4:36 p.m. ET (October 17, 2012 at 5:36 a.m. EDT); The global population will grow to 9 billion by 2050. Since the beginning of the 20th century, the world's population has shown a first-class growth: the global population has reached 6 billion in June 1999, about four times the global population in 1900 and twice the global population in 1960.
It took only 12 years for the world's population to grow from 5 billion to 6 billion, which is faster than any previous multiples of 1 billion people. The U.S. Census Bureau's "World Population Clock" shows that the global birth rate is much higher than the death rate——— and every second of birth, death; But population growth is unevenly distributed globally——— with 57 percent of new births in Asia, 26 percent in Africa, 9 percent in South America, 5 percent in Europe, 3 percent in North America, and less than 1 percent in Oceania. The five most populous countries in the world are:
China (1.3 billion), India (1.1 billion), the United States (100 million), Indonesia (100 million) and Brazil (100 million). Population growth rates are linked to birth, death, living standards, health care and economic development, but over the past 50 years, there has been another phenomenon that cannot be ignored: population growth has been fastest in the regions least able to afford the new population.
For example, in most parts of Africa and Latin America, women have an average of 6 or 7 children. The average American woman has two children, which is just enough to meet the zero population growth, but the number of births among immigrants in the United States continues to be high. In Europe, where women are generally more developed, the average number of births per woman is only one, and some countries have experienced negative population growth.
What worries experts is not the appearance of regional differences in population growth, but the disparities in living standards, health benefits and economic prospects that are behind this trend. "Neither scenario (too much or too little) is not conducive to long-term sustainability. Thomas Batner, head of estimates and ** at the United Nations Population Agency, said.

Someone dies every second in the world. That's 106 deaths every minute.
The death toll is the sum of the number of people who lost their lives in a certain period of time. Death involves all populations, regardless of age, sex, or cause of death, whether due to disease or personal accident, and all persons who have lost their lives are included.
The number of stillbirths should not be included in the count of deaths. Because stillbirth does not constitute birth, it does not constitute death. However, the death of a living infant after birth, regardless of the length of time it has lived, shall be counted.
National regulations:
1) "Particularly serious accidents" refers to accidents that cause more than 30 deaths, or more than 100 serious injuries (including acute industrial poisoning, the same below), or direct economic losses of more than 100 million yuan;
2) "Major accidents" refers to accidents that cause the death of more than 10 people and less than 30 people, or the serious injury of more than 50 people and less than 100 people, or the direct economic loss of between 50 million and 100 million yuan;
3) "Relatively large accidents" refers to accidents that cause the death of 3 to 10 people, or the serious injury of 10 to 50 people, or the direct economic loss of between 10 million and 50 million yuan;
4) "General accidents" refer to accidents that cause the death of less than 3 people, or the serious injury of less than 10 people, or the direct economic loss of less than 10 million yuan.

The Earth will die every second, 106 people every minute, every hour, every day, every year.

Global per minute. People die.

Every minute 58123456321 people die, ah! Oh my God.

A lot, hehe, I really don't know,
In recent years, scientists have pointed out that the global climate warmed significantly in the 20th century, and that average temperatures have risen now compared to the beginning of the 20th century. It is true that the global climate has been warming throughout the 20th century, but is it because of the "greenhouse effect"? Will it continue to warm? >>>More
