well, now you can!
go to
http://www.census.gov/population/www/popclockus.html
to see a population estimator that's about 85 percent accurate, give or take a few hundred people.
it's pretty awesome to look at if you get bored, because it uses formulas such as
one birth every 7 seconds
one death every 13 seconds
One international migrant (net) every 29 seconds
so that makes a Net gain of one person every 10 seconds
pretty cool huh?
NOTE: they tried to do this for china but the number went to fast for anyone to read...

That doesnt make any sense? In 81.8853 days, they'll be over 1 billion ppl in the US?

Wrong, that means
every minute theres 6 born
every hour theres 360 born
every day theres 8640 born
every year there 3153600 born
but, it will be less than 3 million if you count the natural disasters that may occur for ex. hurricanes, earthquakes ect. or the spreading of a new disease or wars that may occur during the year, which leads to more deaths. So i predict that theres 2 million new borns in the US in a year.

grandad don't you know that in some regions of china they're only allowed to have just one child ?and if they have another one the goverment can punish them with for example the education is more expensive for the second one
and several other things
anyway I don't really care about the US population

well, ya, but thats pretty much a given. there are too many people in the world, and not only that, but they are clumped together, not evenly disperesed. if the population of the world was evenly disperesed everywhere (except the arctic and antarctica) there wouldn't be as many economic and poplus problems.the bad thing is some countries can't support large amounts of people.
something has to be done, and fast. the world poplutation is almost 7 Billion. in as little as 7 years, it can be close to 10 billion. that means, more demand for space, un/natural resources and food. that causes more trees to be removed, causing an increase in CO2. also, more demand for food will cause famines and death (wars could also arise over food). higher demand for gas =depletion of resources. and with so many people clumped together, it creates an unsanitary environment and new, deadlier diseases can emerge.
it all equals= bad.

As of May 2008, the world's population is believed to be just over 6.7 billion. The world's population, on its current growth trajectory, is expected to reach nearly 9 billion by the year 2042.
so i was wrong when i said that i was 7 trillion, i meant 7 billion, and when i said it could be 10trillion in 7 years. i guess i should pay more attension in Biology class.
