Rob, this inevitable. I simply can't see how a population can continue to grow within a closed system without massive die off and when that happens, it ceases to grow.
Now, perhaps we could reduce it for a while, postpone it, but it's coming. I think the longer we put it off and super populate the planet, the greater the devastation that will occur. The die off will probably be even greater because we unnaturally exceed the capacity of the planet's resources.
