"due to our inability to curb our breeding habits."

Reminder: We have curbed our breeding habits. Industrialized societies now generally face more pressing underpopulation problems than overpopulation problems, and the global population is now predicted to peak within this century, then start going back down.

You may wish they had been curbed at a lower number, you may still be concerned that we may still pass a carrying capacity before we quite peak, but a fashionably misanthropic "woe, woe, we just keep breeding forever" is not currently a valid concern based on facts.
