Today at church, we were handed out a bulletin like usual, inside though there was a little yellow paper, a small paragraph about the World’s population, written by Joseph Miller.
The World’s population has reached 6 billion. One reason for this is that seven babies are born each second in Asia, where the population has passed billion. Today India is growing much more rapidly than China because of its high birth rate and will, in fact, surpass China in population in a few years. The growing population is centered in cities around the world. New York, Tokyo, Shanghai, and Mexico City have a combined population of more than 50 million people. There are over 155 cities with a population in excess of one million.
