It is a fact that this planet cannot sustain the numbers we currently have.

You are wrong when you say...

The world CAN sustain such, but when the parabola or the current increase charts continue with our numbers
(they dont keep adding 1 + 1 =2 and 1 + 1 +1 = 3, it is going to look like this... 1 + 1 = 2 + 2 = 4 so then instead of 1, 2, 3 it will be like 2 , 4, 8, 16 and such)
Maybe thats where some people are getting distracted

If we could sustain the numbers we currently have, we would be. There wouldn't be millions suffering and starving around the world. We wouldn't have an energy crisis. We wouldn't have pollution on a global scale.
Whether this is down to irresponsible political ideology or genuine limitation of resources, we are not able to sustain the numbers we have.
Regardless of the causes and influences, millions do not have an adequate existence.
And if we continue on the path that we are on, this will only increase.
This planet needs depopulation.

Nope, I don't see the problem. I believe that earth and nature will handle herself just fine. If she gets sick of humans she will just blow the supervolcano at yellowstone, or some other form of a clean start for her.
I don't believe this is an issue us mere humans have any say in.
