Naomi Klein doesn't address this problem in her book, but I read on Google news just the other day that we could have 2 billion people gone from the earth at this very moment and there would still be over 9 billion or much higher ( don't remember ) by 2100, because we have already passed that exponential number of people so far that it's like a runaway train or another type of positive feedback loop.

These must be worst case scenarios. Ahhh...I hope so.
