Certainly not a Democrat.
My biggest problem is while the world population isn't increasing exponentially, it is increasing on a very large scale.
And while we'd all like doctors, scientists, and serious contributors to human kind being the one's with the largest impact on that growth, that simply isn't the case. The near worst of our genes are reproducing at the expense of technology, medicine, diet, and healthcare. Cancers are evolving and more weird and wild diseases pop up almost annually for us to combat. In America we are obese, diabetic, and ravaged with heart disease and cancer. While 'healthy', we are as sick and old as ever passing on bad genes that continue to 'merge' with other bad genes.
Ultimately, I see a worldwide plague devastating the world population to the point of near elimination due to the weaknesses we've exposed over centuries of better and better healthcare and life expectancy.
We'll be our own worst enemy via reproduction and extended lifetimes more than any other reason IMO.
