Bullshit. The planet kinda is at a breaking point, but due to irresponsible exploitation of resources. India, despite having over 4 times the population of US, actually produced slightly more than half as much CO2, their emission per capita being over 7 times lower (https://www.worldometers.info/co2-emissions/co2-emissions-by-country/ if you want to dispute my source, I do admit I chose the first google link). Yes. That is just one metric, yes, India can be criticized for a lot of things, but as for right now I see global warming as the #1 environmental threat, and that does not directly map to population density at all, moreso to what kind of infrastructure there is and how efficient it is. By natural properties of scaling things up, sufficient infrastructure sustaining denser populated areas becomes (obviously up to a point) more efficient. And yea, a place can be overpopulated, but not an entire planet, not in any currently feasible scenario
I assume you said that jokingly, but if not, I cannot really agree
US has notoriously inefficient infrastructure and I forgot the actual data but, continuing comparisons to India, have like 7 or so times smaller population density. So like, US is far from overpopulated, the correct answer is infrastructure focus.

Sounds like people in the US shouldn’t have kids then.
