Facts and Figures-59: "World Population 6.795 billion!"

I learn from The World Almanac 2009 by courtesy of Refdesk that as of November 2009, the Earth's population is estimated by the United States Census Bureau to be 6.795 billion. About 227,000 people are added to the world each day.

In spite of many halfhearted attempts by government machinery and service organizations, the population problem is growing all the time. All these have been proved to be inadequate. Unless individuals and governments take this problem seriously, it grow worse. But then, it is our nature not to worry about anything, till it reaches crisis proportions. So the population problem will not be taken seriously till it reaches crisis proportions.

Grateful thanks to Refdesk and The World Almanac 2009.
