Meh, there's a potential supervolcano in Bolivia that blows once every 300,000 years and it's been ~300,000 years since the last eruption.
Wait long enough and the world population should go down from 7+ billion to 7,000 people.

Tinfoil. It should be at the top of everyone's food pyramid.

well we are at the max ammount of people that is world can handle. so what do we do now i mean we are going for critical mass and in the next 20 years we are going to run out of food becasue of all the me me or we can change the way we do things and start working together to fix the world and end hunger and war and all the other bad. but i do not see that happening any time soon and with the amount of people that we have right now i feel that we will double that in just a few short years and the infant death rate is goign down and out life span is going up so what is the only thing that could happen it can been seen |

It's hardly of any consequence. This is my 15,772,249th incarnation.

It may be quicker and more efficient for Chribba. Unfortunately he probably does not have access to the info required

You're forgetting the super volcano that pretty much consists of all of Yellowstone National Park here in the US. That baby erupts every 600,000 years. The last eruption... 630,000 years ago.
EDIT:
If the super volcano (which is actually a caldera) blows up, expect about 1/3 to 1/2 of the US population to be either wiped out or trapped in ash. |

We'll have plenty of warning as models predict that in the many many years before it would, the entire area would rise possibly as high as 1km above it's current elevation.
I'd like to think that if there was an impending extinction event in which we had years and years of warning we could make a pretty good jab at curbing the impact.
If we can drill 5 miles down to get oil, imagine the relief vents we could drill into the caldera if our very existence depended on it. |

We'll probably hit 7bn even faster. Although if the UN is anything to go by the growth should start levelling out, or going negative some time in the next 100 years. |

I don't think there is any hard upper limit on the number of people Earth can support... as I see it the maximum population at any given time depends on current agricultural technology, the dominant system of food distribution, and the overall availability of drinking water.
You can always cram more cows and chickens into a pen, pump them full of steroids and antibiotics, genetically engineer crops, etc. to increase the food supply. The current systems of food distribution may appear horribly flawed (chronic famines, malnutrition/obesity, perverse incentives arising from both food aid and ag-focused corporate welfare), but they obviously work (otherwise we wouldn't have 7 billion people now). I think the current biggest limitation is going to be access to fresh water. If this can be overcome, I don't see why we can't have 10 or 15 billion people on Earth someday.
God, I hope to be dead before then, though. I think every city will be a swollen, stinking hellhole, yet people will keep living and reproducing only because of the antidepressants pumped into the water supply. |
