While I somewhat share your misanthropy, "nature" isn't really an entity and doesn't really have a goal in mind. So it's not so much an external agent responding to our behavior as our behavior being poorly though out. Also, these problems does not necessarily only affect us; some of them might result in irreparable damage to the ecosystem. Pedantry aside, factors that contribute to Terra's apparent lack of long term sustainability are easy to spot, and there are plenty of options to try before having to resort to birth limits, euthanasia etc. Insufficient reproductive education, lack of birth control, local scarcity through international inequality (i.e. exploitation), patterns of use and consumption, low food production efficiency, pollution from energy usage (non-alternative forms) and population density/distribution are all things that can be altered, upon which the constraints of viability rests. Of course, none of these would be particularly easy to change, but I suspect many of us would find attempting to do so preferable to the alternatives.
