Wow, - 7 bn people is a lot of decrease. I have seen numbers of 300 m to 2 bn #ClimateRefugees and share the #Overshoot hypothesis to a large degree, but had not come across that number.
Do your models include the (likely) hypothesis that #GlobalWarming is still accelerating?

@gerrymcgovern I think you might find it interesting to check out the first video (or however many catch your interest) of this playlist on "Metastatic Modernity" by Dr Tom Murphy of UCSD.
Murphy has been writing on energy, economy, modernity, and their intersection with planetary limits for quite a while at his Do The Math blog, and although that started in a pretty standard "green tech" position, as he started to look at things from a deeper, and rather darker, perspective which in 2021 he turned into an e-textbook _Energy and Human Ambition on a Finite Planet_.
Anyway, sorry for dropping in from nowhere.

A behavioural crisis is driving ecological overshoot and threatens the fabric of complex life on Earth
"We explore three drivers of the behavioural crisis in depth: economic growth; marketing; and pronatalism. These three drivers directly impact the three ‘levers’ of overshoot: consumption, waste and population...The evidence indicates that anthropogenic ecological overshoot stems from a crisis of maladaptive human behaviours...We have in place to deliver a framework for shifting social norms and other necessities for addressing the behavioural crisis."
https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/00368504231201372"Where discussion of climate often centres on carbon emissions,
a focus on overshoot highlights the materials usage, waste output and growth of human society, all of which affect the Earth’s biosphere. Just one-quarter of the world population is responsible for nearly three-quarters of emissions...Solutions that do not tackle the underlying drivers of our growth-based economies will only exacerbate the overshoot crisis.""The system is driving us to suicide. It’s conquest, entitlement, misogyny, arrogance and it comes in a fetid package driving us to the abyss.”
