Don’t Panic by Hans Rosling, well worth watching, he seems like an honourable man.
He gives a rosy interpretation with his chosen statistics, but just as the global warming advocating scientists warn us that the repercussions are already 'baked in', so for professor Rosling's population numbers it is also already bred in, and the outcome unknown in both cases.
His sad plea at the end of his presentation in 2013,
" But that requires that the richest, as soon as possible, find a way to set their use of resources at a level that, step by step, can be shared by 10 billions or 11 billions by the end of this century."..... sadly as implausible as flying pigs or world peace.
The half a billion years of trapped ancient sunlight in fossil fuels that has enabled this enormous population growth, especially the oil component that allowed the enormous growth in numbers and, for some, standard of living since the end of WW2, that oil is not the relatively inexpensive stuff it was , and anyway all the fossil fuels are incompatible with the fantasy of solar or wind replacing their fossil fuel 'breath'.
