We could think of the planet it this way...
If we divide the Earths habitable area by the population we get around 2.3 acres per person or 1/2 of a square city block.
This is your space and what you do in that space matters. -How many resources do you have?, there obviously limited so how would you use them?. -Where would you put all your garbage, would you bury it? what about water pollution?, burn it? that's air pollution. -You have limited stuff to burn and a limited atmosphere, will you pollute all of it?, are there enough tree's and plants?, would they survive?. -What about your family, more people means more consumption and pollution... remember you only have 2.3 acres and limited resources. -What about energy?, obviously you can't burn everything because it can't regenerate fast enough and there's the pollution, solar? -What about heating and air conditioning, food, water, clothing, appliances, tools and machinery?.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that if we were living within the capacity of 2.3 acres or 1/2 city block most people would have died a long time ago.
They grow too fast, consume to much, pollute too much and use grossly inefficient energy systems. Which begs the question how anyone could think we haven't effected the water, atmosphere and climate on this planet. You have 1/2 city block to survive... use it well.
