Failed scientific predictions

There is a study of the end of the world that is real, its authors in Von Foerster, Patricia M. and Lawrence W. Amiot, published it in a scientific journal in 1960, the date of November 13, 2026 would be the moment in which the population world would approach infinity, and therefore exhaust any subsistence resources on earth.

That would happen if since 1960 the number of humans had grown at the exponential rate that it did during the last 2000 years, but that is not happening, growth in recent decades has moderated, according to UN sources in 1950 the world population was From 2.5 billion people, we reached 8 billion Humans by mid-November 2022.

It is estimated that we will continue to increase until we reach 9,700 million in 2050 and we will reach a peak of 10,400 million humans by mid-2080. The calculations are that the population will stabilize close to that figure, since in some countries, such as China, the Growth has stabilized and in others, like in many European countries, population growth is negative.

Even in 2080 we would be far from the infinite and unsustainable level predicted by Harvard scientists, so why did they do that study? Apparently their intention was to give a warning about the risks of overpopulation, a subject that was current in the 60s when it was it was experiencing one of the fastest population growths in history.
