Quick point. We've breached seven planetary boundaries, not six. https://www.stockholmresilience.org/news--events/general-news/2025-09-24-seven-of-nine-planetary-boundaries-now-breached.html

Even breaching one planetary boundaries means we've gone too far in abusing the planet. Now we've breached seven and few people seem to think there will be dire consequences as a result. Talk about denial.

Thank for the update Mike. The trouble with density dependence is there is often a lag between the resource limit being reached and the consequences. Plenty of time for denial.
