The world's human population is predicted to reach 8 billion, just 6 years from now.

It is a good thing that one billion of those people will be over 60 years old, thus too old to reproduce further, but that by itself won't end the population increase. With population increase squeezing from one side, and global heating effects from the other, humanity and the natural world are both likely to be crushed.

How foolish of the article to refer to decline of population as if it were a problem.
