Americans use such a grossly disproportionate share of the world's resources that the US is drastically overpopulated compared to African nations. We could fit the entire world's population into a city the size of Texas at a perfectly liveable density, but we can't magic up more oil or copper or neodymium. We have enough arable land to easily feed 20 billion people, but not if we squander 95% of those calories by raising cattle. Population growth is a total non-issue if we're halfway sensible about how we use finite resources.
