1750......790 billion
1800......980 billion
1850...1.260 billion
1900...1.650 billion
1950...2.555 billion
2000...6.080 billion
October 2012 we should reach 7 billion. The World Bank (an ultra-conservative institution) has estimated that the human population won't stabilize until about 12.4 billion. The UN estimates 14 billion.
The earth is finite. It's ability to supply food, water and other resources has a definite limit. It's ability to accept waste is finite. Unless you've got verifiable statistics you literally find yourself all alone on this one.
