> Not in any scenario of population growth

We're not really in a scenario of population growth - there is a direct correlation between being relatively well off and having less kids. Basically every developed nation hit peak population a long time ago, and the faster we pull other nations out of extreme poverty, the sooner their populations will start falling too

Even the most fatalistic estimates have world population peaking at 10 billion.
