Economists have discredited themselves with failing predictions much more often and they don't even understand the premise of the argument of overpopulation.
Imagine every Chinese and Indian and everyone in Africa would live on the level of an American. With all the energy use that comes with it...
Also, some even go further and say mass extinctions are already taking place aside from the changing climate.
