To me, the problems of a growing population & climate change tie directly into economic stability over time. A few hundred years ago, Hurricane Katrina and Sandy would have not done the damage that they did because population density made fewer people (and a smaller portion of the economy) vulnerable to incredibly damaging weather. So whether the storms are getting worse due to climate changes, or they are striking places where more people live...either way, large scale economic disruptions are a growing risk as population grows & climate changes, I think. For one thing, the impact of a large scale event now is more likely to spread effects across the nation because we are so interconnected by our economy. That wasn't as true a hundred years ago, either.
And sure, even if you could house every man, woman and child on the planet in the state of Texas.... where would they grow their food, how would you get enough water to them? Population density matters.
I don't know, but my guess is that the Chinese one-baby policy was driven purely by their desire to protect their economy from the effects of over-population.
