In other words, the total number of individuals in population is just one variable determining whether capabilities are exceeded or not. If we are overpopulated, we do not use resources available well. This can change.
We already produce enough as a species to feed, clothe and house everyone on the planet.
If we didn't waste our resources on shite and actually looked to the future to ensure that our growing populations were sustainable, we wouldn't be looking at this figure as an issue.
