What impacts world population increase
As you fly in a jet place from say one continent to another,
take a look through the window and try to comprehend and contemplate the
vast uninhabited space of our Earth, even in the most populated
countries. It is massive. It simply seems infinite. So, let's not forget
about our incapacities, greed, wars, corruption, destruction and
love-of-dominating of others and instead, we put the blame of our
mistakes on Earth and its God-given size.
Allah says (Allah? God? What does He have to do with this you may say now): Corruption is appeared in land and sea as a result of what people "accomplished". Take a look at our seas. Take a look at our destroyed lands and countries. The destruction and devastation we are currently living are actually the direct impact of the decisions and will of a few, very few, who control the wealth of the world, yet they seem the most hungriest for more. The rest of the population simply seem to them to be overweight that they are better off without.
The second graph shows the population density by geographical area by year, i.e. the number of people living per square kilometre. Further down, we provide lists of the current and predicted population by country. Click on one of the links below to jump directly to a list or graph:
No one says it would be easy, and I have no particular strategy for bringing it about.
But I think your entire exposition would be made more meaningful if you could estimate global temperatures, carbon dioxide atmospheric levels, global carbon dioxide emissions, etc., projecting them decade by decade -- but at different levels of world population. Take it back a half billion people at a time, all the way down to two billion people (that's my personal estimate of where world population should be if we're to have a "sustainable" civilization).
I have made the same criticism of the IPCC project. They have briefly alluded to the importance of population -- but have stopped short of making any recommendations for addressing it. I felt that their SRES computer models could have been tweaked so as to show outcomes varying with different specific levels of world population.
That's not to say that I don't agree with all the other measures you recommend. I do. But I'm really skeptical that we'll ever be successful if we don't simultaneously bring down world population.

Growing world population
One of the major problems for our future is the ever growing number of people living on Earth. We are referring to this in several articles on this site. Below you can find first a graph about the population by geographical area and by year, starting in 1950 until the year 2050.The second graph shows the population density by geographical area by year, i.e. the number of people living per square kilometre. Further down, we provide lists of the current and predicted population by country. Click on one of the links below to jump directly to a list or graph:
Population reduction
You come so close in this excellent paper -- but you stop short of recommending reduction of population! Why???No one says it would be easy, and I have no particular strategy for bringing it about.
