The Earth is getting more crowded every single day. As of August 2016, the world population was estimated at 7.4 billion. Our planet is already overpopulated, and despite the growth of the population begun slowing, the situation will be worse: the United Nations estimates it will further increase to 11.2 billion in the year 2100.
Here is a video published by the American Museum of Natural History showing the World's population through time.
"It took 200,000 years for our human population to reach 1 billion—and only 200 years to reach 7 billion. But growth has begun slowing, as women have fewer babies on average. When will our global population peak? And how can we minimize our impact on Earth' resources, even as we approach 11 billion?"
The milestones and big events and the population
- Modern humans (Homo sapiens) evolved in Africa about 200,000 years ago.
- About 100,000 years ago, we began migrating across the globe. During this period, the human population remained low – probably less than 1 million people.
- Irrigation began at about the same time in Egypt and Mesopotamia (present day Iraq and Iran) using the water of the flooding Nile or Tigris/Euphrates rivers. With the advent of farming, growth picked up.
- By AD 1, world population reached approximately 170 million people. The Roman empire in Europe/Mediterranean/Middle East and the Han Dynasty in China were around their peak.
- 4th century – the golden age of India begins. Human population around 180 million.
- 6th century – Mayan civilization was at its peak. 177 million.
- 7th century – the birth of Islam. 177 million.
- 8th century – smallpox in Japan (735–737). 195 million.
- 9th century – gunpowder invented in China. 219 million.
- 11th century – the compass was used in Song Dynasty China by the military for navigational orienteering. 289 million.
- 13th century – the rise of Mongol Empire. 364 million.
- 14th century – the Black Death (Bubonic Plague). After five years 25 million people were dead in Europe – one-third of Europe's people. The number of humans around 343 million – a rare decline.
- End of 15th century – the Europeans arrived to Americas. 417 million.
- 18th century – industrial revolution begins. 804 million.
- 1 billion – it is estimated that the population of the world reached one billion for the first time in 1804. It was another 123 years before it reached two billion in 1927, but it took only 33 years to reach three billion in 1960.
- World War I (1914-1917). World population around 1.7 billion.
- World War II (1938-1945). World population around 2.3 billion
- Today (as of August 2016): 7.4 billion.
- 2100 estimate: 11.2 billion.
In short, it took 200,000 years for our population to reach 1 billion. And only 200 years to reach 7 billion.
After watching the video, the timeline of the human population reminded me the infographic titled "Earth Temperature Timeline" which went viral over the Internet a few months ago. The timeline of the growth of human population is very similar to the timeline of Earth's average temperature. Correlation does not imply causation, yes, but we have plenty of other evidence showing that humans are the major cause of global warming.

Kirsten Dunst Talks Transitioning from Child Star to Adult Actor
Kirsten Dunst poses for a new spread in Flaunt magazine's latest issue.
Here is what the 32-year-old Two Faces in January actress had to share with the mag:
On starting out as a child star: "That transition [from a child actor] doesn't happen to many of us. When it does, I think that you're really meant to be doing this. A lot of people stop or it's too hard to transition. But people don't want to see you as an adult. I'm 32 now�"that transition was done for me with [Sofia Coppola's] The Virgin Suicides. That movie helped me go from a little girl to 'growing up.'"
On making movies with Lars Von Trier: "Lars makes movies about complicated and dark women�"the more interesting aspects of femininity, and the relationships between women and sexuality. You don't really have that experience with anyone else but him. And I love that everyone says that he's a tyrant or he puts women through miserable things. He's the only one giving us an opportunity to be crazy and do things that are real but nobody writes about."
On roles for women: "There are great female roles out there [but] there's only so much out there for all of us. Everyone has to audition when it comes to certain parts, and women have to the most. I still think it's a boys' club in a lot of ways. And to be a strong female in this industry, you have to be really in touch with your masculine side, too. You have to be a pretty strong lady to survive it. You have to be very confident in yourself.

Bank of England policymakers consider negative interest rates
Deputy Governor Paul Tucker has said the "extraordinary" idea has been floated.
The Deputy Governor of the Bank of England, Paul Tucker, has said the central bank has considered introducing negative interest rates to help get the economy moving again.
Appearing before the Treasury Select Committee, he said: "This would be an extraordinary thing to do and it needs to be thought through carefully."%VIRTUAL-SkimlinksPromo%
Lowering the Bank of England base rate to negative territory would mean banks would be charged for holding their funds at the central bank. At the moment, they earn interest on money deposited there.
The hope would be that this would force banks to start lending their reserves more widely.
If such a move was made, it would almost certainly reduce variable mortgage interest rates, as they are in part linked to the Bank of England rate, and potentially cut personal loan rates too.
But on the flipside it would also lead to further cuts in savings interest rates, which are already low, mainly due to the Funding For Lending scheme. This offers banks and building societies the opportunity to borrow money from the central bank at low interest rates.
What do you think of the idea? Have your say in the Comments section.
Negative interest rates were not the only idea the Bank of England policymakers discussed at their last Monetary Policy Committee meeting at the beginning of this month. They also voted on the quantitative easing programme, which pumps Bank money into the economy by buying up Government bonds or gilts. Six members voted in favour of not making further purchases, while three voted for a further £25 billion to be spent on asset purchasing.
The committee also considered buying assets other than gilts, and a possible extension to the Funding For Lending scheme.

Cindy Jackson Officially Has Had The Most Cosmetic Procedures
Cindy Jackson holds the official world record for "Most Cosmetic Procedures", after undergoing 52 cosmetic procedures by the age of 55. Cindy has spent approximately $100,000 on plastic surgery that includes 14 actual operations (5 full face lifts, lots of liposuction, 2 eye lifts, chin reduction, lip implants, multiple boob jobs, nose job, cheek implants). The rest of the 38 cosmetic procedures are less invasive injectables (Botox and fillers), chemical peels, cosmetic dentistry and semi-permanent makeup. Most recently, Cindy Jackson had her hands injected with filler in an attempt to hide the veins and make them appear younger.
Photo credit: CindyJackson.com
While Cindy Jackson "offically" has had the most cosmetic procedures in the world, there are many other people out there that have made more work done, they just don't choose to let the world know about it.
Here is a recent interview with Cindy Jackson:
During the interview, the interviewer makes a good point:
"The way I look at my self, I've got receding hairline, I've got a large chin, I've got crows feet, but that's me and so I live with it."
Cindy's reply is, "Well, everyone is different".
And, yes, everyone is different, but when you spend your entire life surgically changing your appearance in a quest to become "beautiful", obviously you are not happy with who you are, no matter how many fake smiles you give to the cameras. Given the choice, I would rather be the happy, wrinkled, balding interviewer that has a family/children and is surrounded by people who love him, versus the plastic women that looks pretty in photographs and goes home to her cats every night.

"The way I look at my self, I've got receding hairline, I've got a large chin, I've got crows feet, but that's me and so I live with it."
I'd like to see a woman interview Cindy and then point out her own "flaws." It's very acceptable for men to not look perfect in society. It's acceptable for men to have facial features that aren't symmetrical. It's acceptable for a man to have crows feet. It's not acceptable for women to age. Period.
She looks incredible o.O
Her plastic surgeon must be a wizard.
The only thing I'd tweak is her eyebrows..I'd fill them in a more and make them more bushy…that would make her look 4 yrs younger…but she does look really pretty…and her stupid schoolmate!!!
I agree with the interviewer. When she smiles her skin looks off by the corners of her mouth. I can totally relate to how she was taunted as a child by others since I have been in the same boat. I too am considering plastic surgery. Still I think you can only take it so far. Age, eventually will win out. I look at the greats, like Sophia Loren. She is aging fabulously and her wrinkles are enhancing her beauty not deterring from it.
She does look beautiful, but she just doesn't look happy. Change the outside as much as you like, but until you truly like yourself on the inside you can't be happy.
As for what Lily said I would gladly point out my flaws. They make me who I am. I like myself so what anyone else thinks about me doesn't really matter.
Honestly though it doesn't matter. It is her choice to do what she wants with her body.
But, I like cats more than I like people…I haven't had surgery but still like coming home to the cat.
That pic from her website is horribly photoshopped. If you look at the space between her eyes, you can see little circles where a clone brush or healing brush was used – poorly. It looks so amateur, I'm guessing she did it herself.
