Understanding Population Dynamics and the Nuclear Threat

As our planet faces significant challenges, both from burgeoning human populations and the looming threat of nuclear conflict, the relationship between these elements paints a stark picture of humanity's future.

The world sees an astonishing increase in its population. On average, 4.6 individuals are born every second, equating to approximately 140 million births each year. In contrast, the current global population stands at over 7 billion people. Tragically, death occurs at a much lower rate, with only about two individuals dying each second, leading to a net gain of approximately 83 million people annually. Overall, the population is growing at a rate of about 2.5 people every second.
