Implicit is the assumption of a zero sum game, I'm not going to even try
to prove that's wrong to you, if you believe it is a zero sum game you
are beyond help, and nothing I could say would change your mind even if
I back it up with statistics. Sorry I won't play.

I'll bet if you took all of the various regions, (notice that they
don't show you how they differ on that map), and weight them by the
number of people living in them we already need 3 planets according
to the earth day calculator. But maybe I'm just cynical.
More likely, it's because many (80% according to the site) of the
world's population live much more modest lives in the material sense
than we do. To the point where it could be said _they_ are
supporting _us_.

As we seem to be in the mood for answering questions, try this:
http://www.earthday.net/footprint/index.asp
------------------------------------
FOOD
1.6
MOBILITY
9.7
SHELTER
0.5
GOODS/SERVICES
5.8
TOTAL FOOTPRINT
17.6
IN COMPARISON, THE AVERAGE ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT IN YOUR COUNTRY IS
5.3
GLOBAL HECTARES PER PERSON.
WORLDWIDE, THERE EXIST 1.8 BIOLOGICALLY PRODUCTIVE GLOBAL
HECTARES PER PERSON.
IF EVERYONE LIVED LIKE YOU, WE WOULD NEED 9.8 PLANETS.
---------------------------------------------------
Let's go find 'em.
Cheers,
