A rebuttal to " Human population reduction is not a quick fix for environmental problems"

4. It's a dynamic-equilibrium process.

The human tendency to overshoot our Earth habitat, over consume, and degrade ecosystems is a normal trait successful animals. All successful, dominant animals that we know of tend to overshoot their habitats. Nature encourages animals to reproduce to excess, and trains animals to gain survival skills and to consume. However, there are no natural mechanisms that train them what to do as they overshoot their habitat, so they all just blow past the carrying capacity. These successful animals, like humans, can do a lot of destruction in a habitat.

The typical re-balancing is the result of a die-back that is then followed by re-growth, then another die-back, etc. Humans are just entering the mother of all ecological oscillations.
