COUNTDOWN TO 7 BILLION PEOPLE ON EARTH!!!

In about 13 days Earth will hold seven billion people; an awfully neat fact, but not quite surprising seeing as there is a birth about every second. The world reached six billion people in 1999, and has doubled in only 40 years, in 1959 when the population just reached three billion people.

We are expected to reach seven billion people on Halloween! So keep checking up on the population, and other cool statistics at worldometers.
