Having a debate with a friend who agrees with the MSM notion that the world is overpopulated and the Earth doesnt have the resources to sustain us.
Ive seen graphs, data, and infographics and stuff on here before that help prove the point that overpopulation is a myth. Dont suppose anybody has any saved they can share?
I'd start the discussion with Paul Ehrlich's book The Population Bomb which started the movement and turned out to be spectacularly wrong; our technology developments far outpaced the supposed shortages. Similarly, climate alarmism has posted decades of false doomsday predictions.

Another angle could be the population graph no longer being a hockey stick, but will be leveling off over the next century as countries stabilize in the modern world; you can now sustain a population with 2-3 children per family vs. 10+ with most dying from disease as children.
I'd also suggest looking at the result of government intervention; China's One Child Policy has resulted in an aging workforce and 30+M unmarried men which is a coming disaster. Alternatively, there's a strong position against foreign aid, specifically to the third world, where instead of stopping a famine or reducing poverty you simply induce population growth that cannot be sustained by the landscape without permanent aid.
More evidence that it's a myth is the push to limit population growth in the west, where people are having the fewest children, but want to import more workers to locations where they will use more resources than where they left.
