Have you ever wondered how many people are currently living on Earth? And more importantly, can the Earth sustain such a massive population, especially now that it has surpassed 8 billion people?
 According to Edward Wilson's book, "The Future of Life," the earth can only sustainably support a maximum of 10 billion people.
 Some theories predict that we will reach this number by 2080 and will stay at this level until 2100. Others predict that we will reach this number by 2064, after which population growth will decline due to resource scarcity, wars, and famine.
 Some countries have implemented policies to control population growth, leading to a decline in global birth rates.
 However, some extreme proposals have been suggested, such as adding chemicals to water to reduce fertility rates.
The future of our planet's population remains uncertain. It's up to us to find sustainable solutions to ensure a livable future for generations to come.
