Overpopulation simply means that there are or are projected to be more people on the planet than the planet's resources can sustain, as those resources are currently being used. Somewhat apart from the question of sustainability is the question of life quality and whether people would even want to live in a world with multiple times the current population and the kind of competition for ever-scarcer resources that would necessarily involve. The Chinese and Indians aren't riding bicycles anymore. They want to live like Americans, and so do millions of other people in developing countries. Increasingly, they are doing so. Finally, being a martyr is not the only option. By framing the possible responses to problems in extreme, either/or ways, people justify doing nothing. There's such a thing as being aware of the effects our lifestyles have and trying to minimize the impact as best we can.

U.S. meat intake is rather evenly distributed between beef, pork, and poultry, in China pork totally dominates. Indeed, half the world's pigs are now found in China.

I have done the math and a population of 12 billion could fit packed into Texas with the space of 608 feet square. Now imagine if we could stack this, I refer to sky scrapers every floor we go up on a building reducing the demand on the land. Two stories half as much land four a fourth and so on. Our buildings reach grand heights do they not? Then couldn't we use the space of an entire country say the size of the U.S to feed their huger? Or perhaps two countries... The world is very far from being over populated and certain natural factors which people loath and do oft protest successfully keep the population "in check" (flood, famine, plague, etc.). The world looks crowded because the public is fed snapshots of 50 crowded into the space less than a living room pardon the hyperbole. On ward to global warming I have not nor will i ever be such a pitiful specimen as an evolutionist hehe the very idea. But if people assume the Earth from molten toxic origins (which i also do not believe) even if the entire blasted human race is damned won't life find a way? The environment will always bounce back surely the origins of the Earth's destruction cannot come fromt the earth itself. Climate, temperature, the seasons they cycle, they flow humans think way to highly of themselves if they assume they can stop it all on their whim. I have ladies and gentlemen no fear of what deeds humans may perform on the Earth surely they will only grow increasingly wicked and terrible so stop what we can and fight where can. I fear no end other than the promised one that is the difference between myself and the atheist he frets I do not. We did not shape the world in our hands nor will the world in our hand perish. If you are concerned about the population insight war. Stop washing your hands stop eating for Christ sake and I assure you there will be one less and the human populace will greatly rise in IQ. If Global warming is your issue dispose of your computer and your electrical and gas consuming devices and go live in the jungle with the apes who would not want someone as foolish as you in their midst. Be a good martyr for you own cause you hypocrites. I have no illusions about the goodness of human being or the existence of a perfect world. Rubbish!

Or have you since examined the problem in more detail and come to a different conclusion? I wonder if Bill Mahr has heard of this site, he would have a field day taking on this issue, especially with South Korea's attempt to boost birth rates today: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/low/asia-pacific/8469532.stm OK, I know this is an old article, but when you say, “overblown population crisis” are you saying you ACTUALLY believe overpopulation is not a threat, or even a problem?
