This article does nothing to address the actual environmental problems caused by overpopulation. Simply stating that population growth is slowing and will, at some point in the future, plateau, simply ignores the fact that there are very serious challenges being caused by the size of the human population right now and it completely misses the point that those problems are predicted to become devastatingly destructive to humanity and to the natural world at some point in the very near future (some say they already have) prior to peak human population being achieved.

The issue is not "will the human population stop growing at some point in the future?" the issue is "what is the maximum number of humans that can live sustainably upon the Earth and in complete and non-destructive harmony with the ecosystem that sustains the whole of life on the planet?"

In my opinion, and the opinion of many others who see the science every day, we have already far exceeded that harmonious balance.
