Not according to thousands of scientists including majority of living Nobel
winners. Not according to Wm. Rees & Mathis Wackernagel, _The Ecological
Footprint_. Their estimate is that 2Billion is maximum population
sustainable at the *current global average per capita consumption level*.
(NOT the western/northern/developed level) If you won't dispute their data
and calculations in a systematic way, you are merely indicating that you
wish it were otherwise.
The DAILY loss of species, the daily net drop in aquifers, topsoil, trees,
marine life, ...are not refutable. Your plea is like a tape in a loop,
replayed ad infinitum without evidence.
