Make that 10 billion!

Earlier world population predictions by the UN and affiliated organizations expected world population to peak around 2050 at around 9 billion.]

Not so fast.

The latest? We'll hit 10 billion by the end of the century - with more pressures on resources, more CO2 emissions, etc.

The story notes that anti-choice ideology has undercut U.S. family planning efforts abroad. And, speaking of the U.S., we could be at nearly 500 million by century's end.
