Will Human Population Grow To 11 Billion ???

The latest study predicts that the human population will continue to swell:

The world’s population is now odds-on to swell ever-higher for the rest of the century, posing grave challenges for food supplies, healthcare and social cohesion. A ground-breaking analysis released on Thursday shows there is a 70% chance that the number of people on the planet will rise continuously from 7bn today to 11bn in 2100.

And you still wonder why Ebola and "mystery viruses" are popping up seemingly from nowhere? Does it not appear that either Mother Nature or human government is finally coming up with a plan to cull the herd?

Q: Why isn't there a natural feedback process which will limit the human population?

A: There is, but we keep overriding it.
