15 AMAZING Statistics For 2050!
- 6 years ago
Mind blowing statistics from the future! From world climate change to animal extinction these are mind boggling fs and statistics from the year 2050\r

15. World Population- According to the United Nations, the current population of the world is at 7.3 billion and is expected to grow even more. Its projected to reach 8.5 billion people by 2030 and by 2050, its expected to reach 9.7 billion. China and India are currently the worlds two largest countries. Each country has more than a population of 1 billion, but surprisingly India is expected to exceed Chinas population. Indias population is projected to have 40 million total, and China is expected to increase by 25 million people. According to Pew Research, America is also likely to increase in size faster than East Asian and European countries. By 2050, the U.S is estimated to grow by 89 million people. The Pew Research organization also predicts that Germany, Japan, and Russia will decrease their population by 10%.\r

14. Environment Forecasts- A few years ago the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development painted a depressing picture of what is happening to life on Earth if we dont take ion to preserve nature. At least one-third of global biodiversity has already been defunct with further loss expected to increase by 2050. Forecasts like these are probably well known among those who ivists or aware of environmental issues, but aside from damaging the environment, we are also killing ourselves in the process. Lets take this as a warning that we should try to raise awareness and be diligent in our efforts to conserve our planet for many years to come.\r

13. Animal Extinction- With climate change expecting to steer a quarter of plants and land animals into extinction 1 in 10 plant and animals expected to be gone in the next 30 years, research shows that if we dont decrease emissions, this drastic ion could lead to more extinction in the next decade. The emission of greenhouse gases, made particularly by the U.S is escalating the situation. If humanity continues to burn coal, gas, oil at this rate, up to one-third of all life forms will be lost by 2050.\r

12. Food of the Future- The world is demanding more meat every single day, and the request for meat and protein is estimated to increase up to 80% by 2050. However, with such a growing market, humanity could face a protein deficit if we dont change our eating habits now. Beef burgers or in-vitro could be the worlds alternative solution to meet these requirements. Scientists first cultivated in-vitro meat back in new. Researchers took muscle cells from a cow and grew it in rings inside a nutrient solution. It costs around $385,000 to produce. But urban farming looks very likely as green space is becoming insufficient.\r

11. Vehicle Numbers- The International Transport Forum predict the global car count could reach 2.5 billion by 2050. The market eruption in China plays a significant for in overall vehicle population growth, with a total of 16.8 vehicles in operation. Currently, the world creates 87 million oil barrels per day and with 2 billion or more cars on the planet, we would need at least 120 million bpd. After all, transportation accounts for 23% of the globes greenhouse gas discharge so if consumers keep buying cars, then vehicle use and fuel efficiency must be managed.
