In fairness I have to point out that the three countries in the world with the largest populations are 1) China, 2) India and 3) the US. Projections suggest by 2050, India will be first, followed by China, and by the US at third. China has attempted for some years to control its population growth, and in the US the repeated recessions have had a similar effect, notwithstanding all the emotional lather about controlling women by denying abortions.
The US is the self-appointed world’s policeman, and has two enemy nations abroad in the form of China and Russia. No I don’t count the Middle East as they’re mostly a danger to themselves and will collapse into non-entities when their oil runs out. This means that the US has to have all sorts of fossil fuels to keep its war weaponry operating. China is steadily building up its dominance of the South China Sea, causing the other nations in that area to increase their arms. And then there’s Russia. Absent a major scientific breakthrough, oil and gas are and remain sacred to every government in the world, meaning that none of those nations will agree to limit their climate-destroying activities. So eventually humanity’s reign over the world will collapse. The earth will survive, as will some forms of life. Whether humanity will continue, well, nature tends to weed out stupid species.
