This chart demonstrates that the real problem is the exponential growth in global population which has nearly doubled in the last 70 years or so (from less than 4bn to around 8bn today). Either we find a way of humanely controlling the population or the planet will eventually do it for us inhumanely.
Problem is that this point of view is hugely antisocial. It's no vote winner either. Imagine "oh, you're having a baby? Congratulations. Well I say congratulations, what I really mean is ugh, another human on the planet..."
It's going to be the biggest issue eventually.
