I for one am not so pesimistic, ohh lots of us may die off, but our basic civilization is in no immediate threat from extinction....maybe a comet or meteor strike but the Western nations are not on a ruinous uncontrolled population growth track.
That is pretty much limited to the Asian and middle eastern parts of the globe. The western nations have a very low population growth rate on the whole and in some cases its negative and China I understand has its population growth rate under control but some other Asian nations are really outrageous in this area.
