We've definitely got the space and the resources. The demographic-economic paradox shows that solving the problem of overpopulation is simply a matter of distributing the renewable surplus we have of food water and shelter to the close to 50% of the world which struggles to obtain. This would create a positive feedback loop which would in turn pay for itself.

>There exists a realizable, evolutionary alternative to our being either atom-bombed into extinction or crowding ourselves off the planet.

It is statistically evident that the more advanced the living standard, the lower the birth rate.
