Population clock

Want to see how fast the world population is really growing? Check out the population clock for the U.S. and the World.

As of today at 20:58 GMT, the world population is 6,616,179,912 (when I started this post). And just a few minutes later it's already jumped to 6,616,180,686.

The U.S. Census Bureau is predicting by July 1, 2008, the world population will be 6,679,532,264. That's over 70,000 in less than a year!

And I've stated before, the prediction is 9 billion by mid-century.

Do you really think that this planet can sustain such growth?

Check out the clock and you can watch it change as you watch.
