To add a counter to this, I'd say technically things are looking pretty bad. The population is expected to grow by 2 billion people in the next 30 years, so I wouldn't call that leveling off. With the degradation of, and simultaneous need for more arable land, food supplies could become an issue, especially if we see more things like the Russia-Ukraine war take place. We'll have fished out most of the ocean in that same period of time. We're also running out of fresh water in areas we need it as we drain aquifers and winter snow pack declines.

There are many other things, such as the continued reliance on fossil fuels and still increasing demand for crude, coupled with a lack of new oil exploration.
