Sad but true. The earth cannot support the current human population indefinitely. And it *really* can't support projected future populations. Something's gonna have to give sooner or later. Short of killing ourselves now, the best thing we can do for the earth is to only have one kid instead of two or three (or more.) Having ONE kid causes way more resource usage over time than living an extra 5 years would - because that one kid will use resources for the next 75 years.
