Not Evil, Just Romm: Joe Romm swallowed laughable claims whole: ‘Talk of a ‘constant growth rate’ for global population was nonsense, global population growth rates have been dropping for years’
It is incorrect to assume a 'constant population growth rate' when 'the growth rate has been dropping for half a century...The claimed 2010 growth rate is 1.8%. In fact, it hasn't been that high in about a quarter century... Claims 'the population will be '13 billion in 2050'. This assumes a) the current growth rate is 1.8% and b) the growth rate is constant. Neither one of those assumptions is anywhere near true, so the conclusion is also invalid.'
