Damn,
I've been had by Disney.
My bad.
More Animal Planet and damn the Disney.
Here's a link for anyone else taken in by Disney.

At any rate, I have heard of scholars, presumably reliable, talking
about 9 billion as almost a brick wall kind of thing. It is thought that
the population will briefly go past 9 billion and then settle back to
that number or somewhere close to it.

Here is one link. The author on this one thinks that 9.5--11 billion
will be the limit. He does mention that 'Getaway' places are more
popular than ever, indicating the stress of over population is getting
to people even now.

It's at best a messy conundrum we have gotten into.
