The World Bank has known for years that the Planet is grossly overpopulated. Only the Rich shall survive.

Meanwhile there is of course the issue of CO2 production, and naturally this goes up as the population increases - but we have known for a long time that human ingenuity could solve this problem if the political will existed. I'm not into plugging books but Monbiot's "Heat: How to Stop the Planet Burning" - which I've just finished - is an excellent layman's guide to just that. In much the same way as food production, though, the difficulty is getting past the profit-seeking short-termism that directly encourages continued pollution.
Perhaps when some people say "overpopulated", it's a shorthand for "the elite intends to stay with the greedy status quo, so the only other solution is to blame ordinary people".
