Use the Excel spreadsheet that contains the world population. Use the world population tab.

1. The plot covers the year 1000 to the year 2010

• Note on the plot the beginning of the industrial revolution ~1760
• Note on the plot the beginning of the green revolution ~1950

1. Determine the percent growth rate from the year 1000 to 1760. What is the doubling time in years for this period? To get this, divide 70 by the percent.

• Determine the growth rate from the year ~ 1760 to 1950. What is the doubling time in years for this period?
• Determine the growth rate from the year ~1950 to 2021. What is the doubling time in years for this period?

3) Forecast (or project) what the world population might be in the year 2100. You can use any method but you must specify the method used.
