"You are dead center, drop dead accurate in your assessment. Population is the source of most of the problems we face even though that is an unpopular, non-PC position to take. I have long believed that it is impossible for the human species to address the problem, hence the inevitable."
I would third this except to suggest that pessimism should never lead to inaction- Humans can address this problem and many are trying no matter how poor are the odds- life's supposed to be a struggle. Even the decision not to have more than 2 children is a positive step. Sharing your concerns on the Internet, possibly contributing to organizations involved in birth-control etc.
We may be on the verge of extinction but it is also possible that technology could lead to a longevity of survival for our species unprecedented in the history of our planet.
No species is forever. Keep fighting for your planet and your species. We aint dead yet.
