#51, you are falling for the 'if there is vacant space, their must be room for more people' arguement.
This isn't true.
And while I'd agree that population drives many of the issues of today, that won't necessarily be 'the limit' or the camel's back-breaker. Any one of a dozen conditions or combinations of conditions will or could be 'the limit'.
Humanity is puting itself into a precarious position. Grain mono-culture is very vulnerable to a single disease or bug. Shipping grain to starving countries encourages population growth. The US and Europe have transitioned from 'high birthrate / high death rate' of only a couple centuries ago to 'low birthrate / low deathrate'. India and China are still in 'high birthrate' conditions with death rate falling as medicine and other factors improve.
It is a world problem, not a single countries. China is now expanding to gain resources for MORE expansion. This will inevitably lead to problems.
Too much is never enough
