Letter: Correction

Published 29 September 2001

Our interview with Warren Sanderson of the International
Institute for Applied Systems Analysis contained two errors. The statement “the
UN predicts a peak [in global population] of 9.3 billion in 2050″ is wrong.
While the UN does predict 9.3 billion in 2050, it does not mark that figure as a
peak. Further down, we stated that population growth in the world’s poorest
countries may end by 2001. This should have read 2100. These mistakes were the
fault of Âé¶¹´«Ã½ and not of Warren Sanderson.
