The hell it is. Make any chart productive use of resources, and you’ll find it correlates perfectly with population. There is no such thing as natural resources—there are only raw materials. Which are transformed into productive applications by the creativity of people. More people means more efficient use of raw materials, and more available resources to extract from them. The Malthusians predicted global collapse at 100M people. Then 250M people. Then 1bn, 2bn, 5bn, and 7bn. Yet somehow instead of famines we have an obesity epidemic. Don’t believe Malthus, or the racially motivated social Darwinism that drives the horrendous “population control” human rights abuses still being perpetuated.
