The world's population is now more than 7 billion and continues to grow by 82 million people per year. During the last half-century, the world's population more than doubled. Between 1960 and 2010, the world population rose from 3 billion to 6.8 billion. In other words, there has been more growth in population in the last fifty years than the previous 2 million years that humans have existed. Currently the rate of population increase is 1.2% per year, which means the planet's human population is on a trajectory to double again in 58 years.
