All of the humans on Earth can fit into Texas. The world isn't over populated. Over 50% of the earth is still covered in dense forest.
Sure, parts of the world are heavily populated, but others areas aren't. If we all had as much space as the average Alaskan, we'd need over 100 Earths to fit everyone.
[Link: fastcompany.com][Link: bbc.com]Your numbers are off. "forest" covers about 30% of the land, not 50%. This is in a world where many of the 7 billion have an almost zero carbon footprint. As each nation ramps up industrialization so will the consumption of resources. Your second link goes into great detail about that. Another point made is the fact that the rich have to pay more than they do now if we expect to keep adding people to the population. We all know that wont happen.
Anyone with dogs fenced in a back yard knows that a given piece of land can only handle so much shit.
