Population mondiale : des chiffres à donner le vertige !

La Journée mondiale de la population est l'occasion de se pencher sur notre monde. Futura-Sciences a fait le compte : naissances, espérance de vie, natalité, nombre d'internautes... Car nous sommes désormais 7 milliards d'êtres humains. Juste le temps de lire cet article et nous voilà 1.000 de plus ! Ce 11 juillet marque la Journée mondiale de la population. Une journée qui sera célébrée par de plus en plus de monde, car le nombre d'êtres humains ne cesse d'augmenter et l'humanité pèse désormais 287 millions de tonnes. Futura-Sciences a souhaité regrouper les chiffres étonnants de notre espèce. Ce mercredi 11 juillet à 10 h 24, on estime la population mondiale à 7.059.181.177 personnes. Car oui, nous avons passé le cap des 7 milliards d'êtres humains, c'était octobre 2011, déjà... Rappelons que la population mondiale avait franchi le premier milliard d’individus en 1830.
