What is about how we humans are living, that makes our population a problem?

Can there be too many trees, or fish, or earthworms?

If we don't stop using fossil fuel, and don't stop factory farming - then we will have massive problems, like forcing the 2/3rds of the people to move to higher elevations, and yuuge crop failures, and spreading diseases, and dead zones in the ocean, and droughts and floods, and wildfires, etc. etc.

We cannot use any "disposable" plastic - we may end with more plastic by weight in the ocean, than FISH - by mid century. We cannot kill the soil with artificial fertilizer and pesticides and herbicides. We are TOTALLY dependent on the soil - we are essentially soil, with the same proportions of the same minerals. We CANNOT treat the atmosphere we all breath as a toilet. And we cannot pollute the water - fossil fuels use an immense amount of water, and we are over-pumping the deep aquifers at the moment.
