GLOBAL POPULATION

• Sweeping Global Population and Climate Change: The global population has been growing massively since the end of the Black Death, around the year 1350. The great epidemic of bubonic plague that called Black Death killed a large part of the population of Europe in the mid-14th century. It originated in central Asia and China and spread rapidly through Europe, carried by the fleas of black rats, reaching England in 1348 and killing between one third and one half of the population in a matter of months.
