With new technological advances, however, I doubt we will get to that point.
To quote God (David Attenborough). This planet is capable of sustaining 9billion, as the finite fresh water supply wont support any more. & the earth's population will reach that figure by 2050. (That's of course taking into consideration no advances are made in desalination or any other development that negates the need for fresh water to sustain (human) life.
