There are about 7-8 births and about 2-3 deaths every second around the world. This leaves us with a addition of 5 individuals every second. In one minute, the world population increases by 5*60 = 300 people. In one hour, 300*60 = 18000. In one day, 24*18000 = 432,000. (About 0.432 million every day)

So in a year, the world population would have increased by 157.68 Million.

Today as I m typing this math, the world population is about 6.67 Billion.

If in a year, the world population would have increased by 157.68 Million, by 2018 the world population would have grown by 1.57 Billion. Which is roughly about 25% increase from todays levels. This is significant. I m in my late 20's and so by 60 years of my age, I would have seen the world population double. This is very fearful to me.

Answering the question of World Population by 2100:

Todays Population = 6.67 Billion

Population increase in 92 years = 9.2 * 1.578 Billion = 14.5176 Billion

Total Population in 2100 = 21.1876 Billion
