I would agree that the vast majority of our problems in this world right now are a direct result of overpopulation. And it’s not going away any time soon. In fact, I think I read somewhere (can’t remember the source) that we’re headed toward 10.5 Billion by 2050. Obviously this is going to cause a number of different issues depending on where you are in the world, but we’re far from immune to the resulting problems here in the US.
I’m not sure how much of an impact it’s had on infrastructure up to this point. I would guess quite a bit. But, this is even more of a reason to address the core of these problems now before we’re tied up with so many more complicated problems in the relatively near future. You know, give us a chance to compete in the sardine can that is future Earth.
