I wasn't just referring to H sapiens. Any massive increase in the  
population of a species is likely to contain the seeds of its own  
crash, from resource shortage of one sort or another, usually.

I guess I'd predict a series of local collapses due to water or food  
shortage, with the concomitant risk of resource wars escalating  
eventually to a nuclear exchange, at which point we can stop worrying  
about global warming...
