It's got some interesting data that I haven't seen before on falling fertility rates and projected future populations. I don't agree fully with the claim that a growing population is all upside. Nutrient density of produce has been falling for decades, so there are some problems that I don't personally see as something that can reasonably be hand-waved off.
But if you are someone terrified about the future and one of your pain points is overpopulation, the argument seems to make the case that populations are likely to begin falling at some point. (Granted I didn't click through to any of the cited links, so I am basically taking their word for it./pedant)
