It not the physical size of the human population.
It’s the volume of resources required to sustain them that matters.

And the speed with which we are destroying nature.

What “volume of resources”?

If there is a problem with the “volume”, it’s thanks to leftist dictators hoarding them.

In case you missed it, ressources are totally dependant on human ingenuity and are expanding.
We have now ressources (uranium, rare earths, lithium, silicon, shale...) that just 100 years ago were just useless rocks.

From my blog a few years back.

Texas Can Hold The World

Texas has 261,797 square miles of land area

1 square mile = 27,878,400 square feet

So Texas has 7,298,481,484,800 square feet of land area

The world population is 8,062,000,000/5 = 1,612,000,000 households of 5 people each

Dividing the 7,298,481,484,800 square feet of land area in Texas by 3000 (3000 sqft. lots)

Giving us 2,432,827,161 1500 sqft homes on 3000 sqft lots,

Subtracting the 1,612,000,000 households from the 2,015,500,000 1500 sqft homes leaves us with 403,500,000 houses are still empty.

And all of the rest of the world to grow food. And yes, I realize that I didn't allow for roads, etc. That's what the rest of the US is for.
