If the human population continued growing at the rate seen in 1990, the world population would tally 694 billion by the year 2150. But that’s not likely. More realistic, says Cohen, are estimates between 4 and 20 billion people. Why?

Come hear Cohen, author of the forthcoming book, How Many People Can the Earth Support?, due this December from W.W. Norton & Company, as he discusses how human choices about economies, environment, values and politics are just as important as supplies of food, water and livable land in determining Earth’s people capacity.
