I seem to recall someone in the 1800's coming up with a similar theory about humans reaching a tipping point and the population dropping off sharply by the end of that century. It didn't happen though because exponential technological growth was not factored in to our population growth.

No, the earth was just asking to be drilled from numerous holes until it's precious resources were depleted, and then deforested. I mean...just look at what it was wearing.

to answer the question above, yes. everyone in this world is relying on someone else to fix the mess that they are doing.... only way to stop our problems would be to stop having children completely and become vegan cave men whilst planting a fuck load of trees. :L

watch this its about the science of overpopulation - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dD-yN2G5BY0

and yes we are screwed, but once humanity is extinct then earth will just evolve a new intelligent lifeform that will be extinct again due to overpopulation and the cycle continues

that was a great video.

Rather funny how many dooms day type things are just waiting. The Canary Islands are another that would screw over parts of Europe and the US East coast.
