Too many people on Earth?

"There are already too many people living on Planet Earth, according to one of most influential science advisors in the US government."  (Source: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/7974995.stm)

Is it true? Padahal ada juga opini2 researchers lain yg bilang bhw "overpopulation is just a myth" , e.g.:

http://www.pop.org/

"for more than 100 years, alarmist scientists have been perpetrating a myth - the myth that the world is overpopulated, based on faulty math, and flawed science and reasoning. it has never been true."

"...deploring the forced sterilization and abortion campaigns conducted in the Third World as part of the postwar global population control effort."

"Professor Nicholas Eberstadt, an expert in population and demography, the UNFPA and other alarmists provide no credible evidence to justify this belief."

Wallahu'alam.
