The world's population is expected to top out in the next 50 years. I guess there will still be a flood of people from the overpopulated regions of the world to the relatively sparse.

no it was a discussion and i can't remember the specifics - it was on CBC radio in the 90's
and i think it was a series about the coming millenium and he was predictiing based on his own thoughts and dreams i suppose
