  In terms of resources being used by by the planets ability to regenerate them it seems to be true. Too many people consuming too much. And that's with billions living very modest lifestyles.

    Which people consume what? Many consume very little and a few consume far too much. You can't say the average/sum is the problem when a minority is ruining everything.

      Spot on! It's obvious that a 10x smaller human population would have a 10x smaller environmental impact (assuming the same behaviors and lifestyle) However, what is killing us is overproduction, overconsumption and a whole economic model devoid of sustainability goals. "Overpopulation" is used by some people as a diversion tactic.

        Ask them how to solve the "overpopulation" problem, and you'll find that for many of the people who bring it up, it's a lot worse than a diversion tactic.

  Not if you accept that the earth is a sphere (and hence finite).
