"So all those scientists that have been warning us about over population the last few decades weren't "real scientists"?" The thing about scientists is that they leave old ideas behind when superior ones come around. The average world fertility was halfed in 50 years (1950-2000). Most projections on population growth predicts it will level out (or peak) at 9-11 billion people at some point between 2050 and 2100. /wiki/Projections_of_population_growth

"Oh, population will be leveling off. Famine, cannibalism and war will do that." Actually the reason is not as dramatic as you think. At the moment, all but ~10 countries have a positive GDP growth rate, and GDP growth rate have a negative correlation with fertility rate. /wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/43/TFR_vs_PPP_2009.svg/720px-TFR_vs_PPP_2009.svg.png In general, when people are better off, they produce less children.
