Population in and of itself does not present a problem. Agriculture is much more of a strain on land use, but that has arguably passed its peak in advanced countries. The reasons for this are complex but Australia (the US and the UK) is regenerating forest growth. Don't believe this? Look at the ABS stats on forest cover and cleared land. Admittedly the stuff regrowing might be plantations but it shows that the actual trends are far more complex than the author would have us believe.
