- The total world population in 2012 was about 7 billion, and Figure 2.11 shows that at that time the actual world population growth rate was about 1% per year. The figure also shows an anticipated roughly linear decrease in growth rate that extrapolates to zero growth in about the year 2080. Assuming an average growth rate of 0.5% between 2012 and 2080, what would the world population be in 2080? How does this compare with estimates discussed in the text for limits to human population?arrow_forwardEnvironmental Engineering, disaggregation exponential growth question: Consider the following disaggregation of carbon emissions: Carbon emissions (kg C/year)= [Population] x [Energy (kJ/year/person)] x [Carbon (kg C/Energy (kJ)] Using the following estimates for the United States and assuming growth rates remain constant, 1990 amounts: Population: 2.5 x 108, growth rate: 0.6% Energy: 3.2 x 108 kJ/yr/person, growth rate: 0.5% Carbon emissions: 1.5 x 10-5 kg C/kJ, growth rate: -0.3% Find: a) The carbon emission rate in 2020 b) The carbon emitted in those 30 years c) The total energy demand in 2020 d) the per capita carbon emission rate in 2020arrow_forwardAccording to the statistics authority, the total population in the Philippines last 2015 reached a 100.51 million with the population growth rate of 1.36%.
