Thanks, Bob!  :-)

Interesting that the table at
http://www.undp.org/popin/wdtrends/p98/tp98pwld.htm shows 8.9B people in
2050.  Presumably, this is the mid-range estimate, while the ID figure of
10B in 2050 is based on the high range estimate?  That would be consistent
with the graph in the third URL,
http://www.undp.org/popin/wdtrends/p98/p98cht2.htm

But it does not much matter for these purposes; the difference between 9B
and 10B has no effect whatsoever on the conclusions.
