A comment on Could preventing the human overpopulation solve anything?. Parent comment
Simple - replacement births are simply not happening
Human life span is approaching its [medically-enhanced] limit
And women, quite frankly, are - in gestalt - not having enough babies to keep population rates growing ad infinitum
There are exceptions to the rule ... but - globally - birth rates are below replacement level.
Birth rates are a tailing indicator, but they are still there.
