Yes. We are fighting over the scraps. We can have a healthier planet and fewer humans would help. However, not all humans are equally destroying the planet. The amount of resources used (and wasted) by the avg US citizen is hundreds of times higher than most people in third world countries. But the US has some of the tightest environmental restrictions on the planet - we are already doing what the article is talking about, namely, keeping things on an unsustainably resource-intensive path while hiding the larger issues...kind of like sweeping the dirt under the rug.
