    I do. I remember peak numbers in the single digit billions and now its pushed off and in double digit. Its like that always 20 year out thing.

      The population is only 8.2 billion currently. We haven’t even passed 9 billion, much less 10.

        the projections are now double digit at crest wereas in the past the projections were single digit crest. My point is its a moving target and its always the prediction of a crest and not actually a crest. So I think in 20 years when we are double digits they will be talking about how we are cresting and the projections is we will hit 13 billion in 2088 and then go down much like now they say it will hit 10.6 at 2068 and then go down. really its always 50 years ahead so its basically fusion power. It will happen someday if we survive in both cases but the projections are always wrong.
