Birth rates declining for years but we added a billion people to the planet?
I wouldn't be surprised if the world population is half what we say it is.

Yeah. Good observation 👀
I could completely see them doing that
probably have to look at infant mortality rates also?
Probably. But the underlying point here is I don't trust the chain of statistics that factor into the final number.
It could be anything.
Maybe not a full half, but probably less. I mean, countries where a bunch of people have fled from the people might be counted twice. How do they even register the exact amount of people in hard to get to tribes in Africa etc.?
Not to mention all the social security scams where people have died but still look to be alive?
Isn’t it just declining for us? The poor countries be pumping them out like there’s nothing better to do
