As global population hits 8 billion, Twitter is flooded with memes

“While it took the global population 12 years to grow from 7 to 8 billion, it will take approximately 15 years — until 2037 — for it to reach 9 billion, a sign that the overall growth rate of the global population is slowing,” the UN said, on Tuesday.
