How accurate is it though, it didnt ask what time I was born.

3,085,110,829th (1 day later)

Difference   = 156324 in 24 hours ( 6513.5 per Hour)
Per Min       = 108.5583333333333
Per Second = 1.809305555555556

I was born at 4.22 p.m. Even way back then I was thoughtful and accommodating.

The population has nearly doubled since then apparently   

There is a popular theory that says the human race will become unsustainable and die out completely within the next 1-200 years.
There's a cheery thought for you...

What worries me is that the graph is not interpolated correctly.
It looks, to me like an exponential curve up to now.
It has then been interpolated (guessed) as a straight line after now.
If you follow the curve, it's going to be nearer 20 billion by 2050 

ALL populations are self-limiting - whether by resources or disease.
Resources can include "liebensraum" - and the last time that was an issue, there was a very big drop in population size, especially in Europe

When I looked at the graph, it looked like it slowed down after 2050.

There you go I've fixed that for you.

The back garden shanty town sheds in west London are of terrifying proportions with some London boroughs talking about 40-50000 or more unknowns than the 2011 census shows from their school numbers and the drain on other services. Many of these sheds are occupied by illegals.

Councils are now employing special teams including Slough using an RPV with IR sensors to find the heated shed. But the law states that a council must give at least 24 hours notice of an inspection, so many are turned into gyms or games rooms for the inspection period and if they have been there for more than 4 years even without planning permission then they are allowed to keep them. This is all crazy but true.

not quite ½ way to today's figure 
Amazing that world population has more than doubled in 51 years. 

I read somewhere, that it won't be long before India's population will be greater than China's due to China's policy of actively encouraging one child per couple with major sanctions to 2+ families. Unfortunately the countries which have the greatest population growth are generally those where land is used ineffectively and deforestation for fuel leads to further land erosion & greater risk to flash flooding. 

I can't see this getting any better in the short term due to corrupt, self interested, short sighted and or inept politicians. When the UN and/or the G12 countries pull their collective finger out and give aid in a way that improves infrastructure and resource usage (rather than fill the pockets of the officials at all levels down) and educates the populace. If this happens then there is a chance that populations that are increasing at an unsustainable rate will implement a level self control of family size, etc.

Personally, I think that religions and the cultures they create are partly to blame, if they taught about the impact of overpopulation be it on a small scale or world wide it would help and educate at the same time. That said, it's not in their interest to show restraint in that way.   

And another 5186 people have been added to the world population as I type
