I understand that the population is growing very rapidly and it will continue to put a major strain on the environment. Unfortunately, the tough reality is the planet can't support an ever growing population. The global population has grown from 1 Billion to 7.7 Billion in 200 years and is projected to grow to 11 Billion by 2100. Its a lot to ask of trees to support an atmosphere of 11 Billion people polluting it
Probably not a popular opinion.

Over population is about the last topic anyone wants to bring up.
But the reality is if we had 2 or 3 billion people on Earth, everyone could drive a big diesel pickup and eat steak every night, but with 10 billion, we can't.
