Goggle the Galveston Texas hurricane of 1900. You will find that that storm took over 6000 lives. The storms are no 'stronger' now than throughout history. The difference is global communication with live video feeds. Storms circa 1900 got one photograph and few hundred words of description in papers that were not in the affected area, if at all. The 24hr news cycle has magnified many events into global phenomenon. A toddler falls down a well in Texas and it is global news with saturation coverage til the next 'big' story comes along.

As for population density, your questions show and ideology, not a thoughtful response. Where would they grow their food? Anywhere else on the planet cuz it would be void of buildings and people. How would they get there water? in pipes, just like now, only maybe from further away. But that is an absurd scenario used to illustrate a point. There are plenty of resources to support humans for eons to come. Climate change AKA global warming is a scam to line the pockets of a few intellectuals and pseudo scientists.

As for the Chinese one child policy, it is totally about population control. But not for altruistic reasons of overpopulation and depletion global resources. it is a totalitarian society and there aren't enough makers to support the takers. ironically, probably not for much longer with all the tax dollars of the makers here in the good ole USA pouring into their treasury. But sadly most of those dollars are certainly going to enrich the politically connected, not the needy.
