I wasn't just referring to H sapiens. Any massive increase in the
population of a species is likely to contain the seeds of its own
crash, from resource shortage of one sort or another, usually.
I guess I'd predict a series of local collapses due to water or food
shortage, with the concomitant risk of resource wars escalating
eventually to a nuclear exchange, at which point we can stop worrying
about global warming...
