4. I think the bottom line is more dire.

We are in a situation of overshoot and the carrying capacity of the Earth has degraded significantly already. There are numerous negative man made feedback loops in process that will begin our decline and are at this point not stoppable. I believe in the next 5-10 years climate change, crop and ecosystem failures will result in the beginning and obvious decline of the human species. In other words its not long before the growth of human population stops and starts its decline. The long term picture is not really good. Good luck to all.
