That flies in the face of the history of progress. Maltheus was wrong for the last 200 years of doom and gloom predictions. Why would you expect differently now

That flies in the face of the history of progress. Maltheus was wrong for the last 200 years of doom and gloom predictions. Why would you expect differently now? In actual fact, the amount of resources (atoms, power) in the Earth are orders of magnitude beyond what humans need for thousands of years, even assuming exponential growth. And the carrying capacity of the Earth has grown as fast or faster than population, explicitly because more people means more innovation and more capital which means higher carrying capacity. What's more, the per capita quality of life grows linearly with population, meaning a quadratic increase in available resources overall. More people = more prosperity. It's not a zero-sum game. Inoculate yourself against the Malthusian ideology of the Club of Rome. The world is not ending, as much as their anti-human agenda would want you to believe.
