    Where are you getting the opinion that our breeding is incessant? From what I remember studying,

    1. the entire population of earth could fit in Texas if we turned it into a state sized apartment complex
    2. we already produce FAR more food than we need
    3. most models show that once a country advances far enough its population stops growing, and there are models that demonstrate what the earths maximum population will likely be

        Sure, here’s an article discussing population by the BBC.

        Most relevant paragraph is towards the end:

        Estimates vary, but we’re expected to reach “peak human” around 2070 or 2080, at which point there will be between 9.4 billion and 10.4 billion people on the planet. It may be a slow process – if we reach 10.4 billion, the UN expects the population to remain at this level for two decades – but eventually after this the population is projected to decline.
