But in the show they say \\\"300,000 people die each day. If they stop dying that\\\'s an extra million people in just over three days.\\\" (300,000 times three is 900,000, so that\\\'s pretty close to a million). \\\"Add to that 500,00 people born every day . . .\\\"

Do you see the problem? They didn\\\'t just stop subtracting 300,000 from the total, they also added 300,000 to the total. They treated it as if 300,000 more people plus the usual 500,000 appeared on earth. It\\\'s only the newborns that cause it to increase.

Half a million every day is still a huge amount and would cause problems, but what matters is their math is wrong.
