Saying that over population has been disproven a ton of times is an overstatement. Has it been proven that the number of people on the earth can be accomodated with the available resources and farm land? Yes. That pretty much ignores everything associated with human societies around the world. All those calculations are usually very sterile and don't take any of the world's reality into consideration. Climate change, poverty, and dwindling resources are real things. If human society was perfect, maybe they wouldn't exist, but human society isn't perfect and it never will be.
Also, it's been proven that the way we farm actually contributes to desertification, which is a big contributing factor to global warming, so simply having enough farm land isn't a good answer. None of this is as simple as you're implying.
People fucking up the world has nothing to do with resources. People also not getting food has nothing to do with resources.
The world getting fucked up is due to human greed. Global warming was an issue when the world only had 7 billion people. Same with hunger. Same with pollution. And its still happening at 9 billion now.
So controlling human greed is what will reverse the world being destroyed, not bringing down the population, cause its already been proven we had all these issues when we had billions of people less.
Again though, whole different convo. Start a thread and we can post studies by real scientists to see if it has or hasnt been disproven.
