Figure 1.55 shows (a) a graph of world energy use 1850-1996, extrapolated to 2100 (b) shows the growth in world population 1850-1996, extrapolated to 2100

Figure 1.55 (a) Global primary energy requirements, 1850–1990, and projected requirements 1990–2100 in the three World Energy Council scenario ‘cases’, A, B and C. World energy use here includes commercially-traded energy only; (b) World population, 1850–1990 and projected population, 1990–2100 (see text)
