Don't just throw those numbers out, look at the curves. The exponential part has flattened out, we're in a classical logistical curve now.

Your extrapolation is a bit like https://xkcd.com/605/

The planet cannot sustain 7.5 billion people over long periods of time let alone more than that.

Believe whatever you want, really. You seem to be in denial about all this because your lifestyle requires everyone to believe shit is OK. It is not OK.

And because it is not OK everyone will eventually pay the price of not working together to avoid a cascading environmental catastrophe. Namely war and famine.

The unpopularity of my responses here really reflects how abstracted from reality people are these days.
