Right on. The way the way population is right now, every time a chunk of mountain or glacier falls down, or a river floods, tens of thousands die or are displaced.
In 1960 there were 2-3 billion people on the planet. Now it's 3x as many cars, mouths to feed, homes to heat/cool.
In Bangladesh there are over 1 million Rohingan refugees who've been there for TEN YEARS. They can't work there, have no country to move to, have to live on $6-12 a month for food.
It's actually more than 2-3x as many cars I believe, given cultural changes since 1960 as well
