I am summarizing their own analysis. If you go look in the data, you will see that the global population is on the rise.
That’s a dodge.
I looked at the data you linked.
Of the ~20 regional populations listed, one says long term increase, two say long term decrease, and the rest all say insufficient data.
It doesn’t seem to match up with your portrayal very well.
Where did you get the “doubled” bit from?
