Is this where we're headed? (Overpopulation episode 2)
Channel: Lifespan News
Date: 2021-05-10

In the previous overpopulation episode, we gave an overview of what overpopulation means and how the UN expects the world population to grow over the next eighty years or so. However, the UN doesn't take into account life extension, because life extension isn't quite on the table yet. In this episode, we'll look at the UN projections more closely and take a stab at how life extension might affect population growth in two worst-case scenarios.

Don't forget this is only the second episode in a series of five! Next one will be on May 24, at 12 EST.
