With a larger population combined with more of a chance of living past the age of 5, you need fewer births to get the same population growth rate globally. As the world population rapidly urbanizes we will settle into a new normal that will still approach Earth's carrying capacity faster than we can adequately react.

Human population has overshot in 1971[1], what are you talking about? Carrying capacity has long been exceeded, we’re living thanks to the phantom carrying capacity[2].

What's with the acerbic attitude? Is this implied to be common knowledge or somehow obvious in the course of life for everyone everywhere?

Sorry if it seemed too bold. It’s obviously not common knowledge yet in this stage of the Collapse.
