But it's highly unlikely that the population growth in the 21st century will surpass this of the 20th century, in terms of percentages. The percentage rate of population growth peaked in 1990, IIRC, and the absolute increase in population is very close to its peak (I'm not sure from which direction) now. The expected population of the planet in 2050 is 10 billion, while by 1950-2000 growth rates, we'd expect it to be something like 14 billion.

I can't find the article about Mars' colonization, anyway. Can you link me to it?
