      At the moment it’s something like six billion and counting – it’s growing at an exponential rate, which means that the population is increasing more and more rapily – I don’t think there’s enough room for us all 🙁

      There are now about 7 billion people on planet Earth. National Geographic are running an excellent series online, all about it: http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/7-billion
