    The current global population growth rate is unsustainable.

    That’s a myth. The current global population growth rate is dropping precipitously and is expected to hit negative rates within this century. The fertility rate per woman is at 2.3, from a peak of 5.3 in the 60s. That’s barely above replacement level. At current trends we’ll be at replacement level in a couple decades.
