Yup, and the crappy news for humanity is that if we're expending unsustainable resources to artificially boost our population capacity that factor is likely to "correct" with a die off. In our modern world you'd like to think that as rational beings we'd be conserving these unsustainable resources to fund "important" things - but no, we usually just release strategic oil reserves to try and game our political system... and we decrease the resource intake to reap short term gains.
