  According to UN figures, between 1999 and October 2011 (12 years), the world’s human population went from 6 billion to 7 billion. Around November 15 2022, that figure reached 8 billion, a further increase of 1 billion in just 11 years.
  
  How many more people can our planet actually sustain long-term? And what is likely to collapse first… energy supplies, fresh water, food?

  We are actually seeing the collapse of energy supplies right now, as well as rising energy costs globally. This is not sci-fi stuff, this is now a reality.

    Absolutely, even here in the UK the energy companies are talking about brief power outages if demand overtakes supply. My neighbour has four children and 6 televisions in the house. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out the problem.
