15.8 BILLION BY 2100? - NOTICE THE EXTREME J-CURVE
Notice that we did not reach one billion worldwide until about 1830. Things have changed, however, and we have just added FIVE additional billions since 1930. And the numbers since 1830 have us rocketing up the y-axis in a classical, quintessential J-curve (yes, the same type of graph showing the mathematics of fission events inside a nuclear detonation) (except, at least nuclear detonations are comparatively localized, whereas our population detonation is a planet-wide event).
In early May 2011, however, the U.N. raised its world population projections to show 10.1 billion by century's end - and, again according to the U.N., if fertility rates around the world average just 1/2 child per woman higher than the U.N.'s "medium" estimates, we will be headed toward 15.8 billion by the end of this century as shown in this graph.
Since earth's carrying capacity for an industrialized humanity is on the order of two billion or less, these numbers constitute not just an emergency, but probably the greatest single risk that our species has ever undertaken.

What makes today "Day One"? Well, today, Monday, is the first day of our school's distance learning program. Students are learning from home, but teachers are coming in for the next few days to get this program up and running. Since I'll be staying home for the foreseeable future, I decided to take this plant home. Normally, I neglect it every day I work until it gets so brittle that I have to water it, but I have made it my mission to nurse it back to life while we are both "stuck" home in my apartment. Maybe what I really need is a pet?
Food Service Administrator Randy Williams was named the 2012 University of Illinois Springfield Employee of the Year.

This image summarizes THREE CLASSICAL, separate, independent, and quintessential REAL-WORLD population-environment calamities (each of which involved mass mortalities and/or 99% die-offs) that either began or were actually already well-underway in surrounding environments that remained 99.998% unoccupied (2/1000ths of 1% occupied) (see tiny white dot in image) and which, visually-speaking, appeared to remain ALMOST ENTIRELY EMPTY.
The three real-world examples assessed for this image include routine outbreaks of red-tide dinoflagellates (e.g. Karenia brevis) in marine environments (which can kill millions of tons of fish and even manatees by their release of wastes into their surroundings), and two separate classical and independent climb-and-collapse population-explosions / 99% die-offs in reindeer herds (Rangifer tarandus) on Alaskan islands. A new freely-downloadable PDF on this topic is accessible at www.scribd.com/doc/81278312/Population-Boundaries-Real-wo... .
Even an intelligent, sentient, educated, and scholarly population would find it difficult to appreciate or even imagine either the degree or the proximity of the utter population-environment calamity that is about to overtake them or which is actually already well-underway when so much "vast open-space" appears to remain seemingly-available. Disquieting and dangerous implications for humankind? The answer, unfortunately, may be 'yes,' because in all three classical real-world cases that this image reflects, if the scholars and leaders of the subject populations WAIT until the conditions depicted in this image develop, they will have ALREADY WAITED TOO LONG.

The ceremony, presided over by NWC President Rear Admiral Shoshana Chatfield, saw 468 students from senior-level leadership and intermediate-level leadership courses, including 103 international students representing 78 countries recognized alongside 1,925 students having completed coursework through NWC’s College of Distance Education programs, 121 of whom attended the graduation in person. Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield, U.S. Representative to the United Nations, gave the commencement address. Established in 1884, NWC is the oldest institution of its kind in the world. More than 50,000 students have graduated since its first class of nine students in 1885 and about 300 of today’s active-duty admirals, generals and senior executive service leaders are alumni. Since creating a program for international officers in 1956, the college has more than 4,500 international alumni from 137 countries worldwide. Approximately 10 percent of these alumni have become chief of their country’s respective navy. Today, NWC continues to deliver excellence in education, research, and outreach, informing today’s decision-makers and educating tomorrow’s leaders. (U.S. Navy photo by Kristopher Burris/Released)

Science? Math? Demography? In all three cases, comprehending the truly immense ENORMITY of a BILLION is a core understanding of biospheric literacy. For college and university faculties the PDF envisions a well-remunerated editor whose task is to publish a one-billion-page "Encyclopedia of Theoretical Physics" at a rate of 500 peer-reviewed, edited, and published pages per week , 52 weeks per year. At such a rate, how much time will be required to complete the project?
HINT: The answer is 38,461 years - which means that if the editor began this task 20,000 years ago, when ice was one-mile-thick over Ohio, Michigan, and Wisconsin, when people still lived in caves, and wooly mammoths still roamed the earth, and successfully published 100-pages per day, five days a week without fail, for 52 weeks a year - from then until now - he or she would have to CONTINUE working for 18,461 ADDITIONAL years into the future in order to complete the project.
(Now imagine turning each and every one of those pages of theoretical physics, from ALL 38,461 years, into a human being, and then adding all of them to our planet in twelve years - and then do this repeatedly and one can begin to understand why earth's biospheric life-support machinery is breaking.)
A similar thought-experiment for use by educators, students, and younger audiences can be posed as "the riddle of a billion homework questions." (Hint: In both cases the answer is the same - 38,461 years.)

The Technological Institute of Great Britain (TIGB) was founded in 1917 to provide postal correspondences courses in engineering disciplines (distance learning). The TIGB also set examinations that led to recognised qualifications.
This badge shows the college crest that was in use during the 1940’s and 1950’s and presumably was issued to each new paid-up students who enrolled onto their courses.
Distance Learning started in Britain around the 1880’s with such pioneers as the Bennett College in Sheffield. By the 1920’s this method of learning had become commonplace and other colleges offering postal correspondence courses in engineering were the The National Institute of Engineering and The British Institute of Engineering Technology. By the 1950’s these correspondence colleges had amalgamated as part of the Cleaver-Hume Press publishing company, although each institute continued to offer courses under their own names.
