Will it be anyone from here ? Quite a claim to fame :P
A population milestone is about to be set on this jam-packed planet.
On Saturday, Feb. 25, at 7:16 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, the population here on this good Earth is projected to hit 6.5 billion people.
Along with this forecast, an analysis by the International Programs Center at the U.S. Census Bureau points to another factoid, Robert Bernstein of the Bureau's Public Information Center advised LiveScience. Mark this on your calendar: Some six years from now, on Oct. 18, 2012 at 4:36 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time, the Earth will be home to 7 billion folks.
These are estimates, of course, but clear trends emerge from the data behind them. source (http://news.yahoo.com/s/space/20060224/sc_space/planetspopulationtohit65billionsaturday;_ylt=Ann5K_m170ScsMNpFOoRALWs0NUE;_ylu=X3oDMTA3MzV0MTdmBHNlYwM3NTM-)
