When earth's population passed 8 billion last Spring, I made a comprehensive OP here, titled "Earth never had a chance."

Incredibly depressing to me, many of the responses were rationalizations of the need for continued population growth, mainly from an economic POV. Even more frightening were all the DUers who really believe that now-unknown technological inventions will surely come to our rescue, so no need to hamper the economy now.
