Can you show me the predicted population curves? The one at "Our World in Data" does not look all that frightening. We are currently at 8 billion. Their projection has us peaking at 11 billion and levelling off in 2100. As worldwide poverty decreases, the number of children per family is dropping. The rate of growth is falling drastically. The problem is that while the rate of growth of population is going down, resource consumption is going up.
