By the middle of the century, the United Nations estimates that the world population is likely to increase to more than nine billion, which is equivalent to an extra 200,000 people each day. Professor Rapley said the extra resources needed to sustain this growth in population would put immense strains on the planet's life-support system even if pollution emissions per head could be dramatically reduced.

Not to be glib, but overpopulation never seems like a real problem to a Canadian. We've got lots of room to spare (so does Russia), so long as people are willing to move up north.
I think the real problem is massive urbanization. Everybody wants to live in the city these days.
