Good point though I guess the issue is more that the growing populations are in countries that have not participated in global modernisation until recently, i.e. the BRIC countries. Hence the rapidly rising demand for energy and resources of all types.
There is at least some light at the end of the tunnel. Without wishing to drift unduly off topic, one of my favourite guru's on statistics is this guy - a numbers based assertion on future maximum world population:
