Just FYI on that "carrying capacity" thing...

The world's population is stabalizing and will probably level out within the next couple of decades.

There is no "Big Red Lever" that you can pull that will "save the Earth". The universe doesn't work that way. Belief in the Big Red Lever fallacy is at the root of most of the horrendous evils of the Twentieth Century and earlier.

"The worth of a State, in the long run, is the worth of the individuals composing it . . . a State which dwarfs its men, in order that they may be more docile instruments in its hands even for beneficial purposes will find that with small men no great thing can really be accomplished."
-- John Stuart Mill
