Many places are seeing temperatures too hot to survive, which were not expected until the middle of the century. The article does not mention overpopulation, but we all know that is the ultimate cause.

I am rather tired of hearing that it is only a matter of consumption. It is a matter of consumption AND population. If we wanted to have the lowest ecological footprint, we'd live as hunters and gatherers...and then there would only be room for a few million of us.
When I talk about overpopulation, I'm talking about all of us, in every country. It cannot be denied that if there were only 1 billion people, even consuming at the rate of, say, western Europe, the world would not be in such dire shape. Of course it would be in even better shape if the same billion people were consuming at a much lower rate.
It's not an either/or. It's a both.
