We self regulate our growth look at most of the developed world growth is zero. As the developing world catches up their growth will slow as well. At some point world growth will actually reverse.

There is no indication that overall population growth will slow in a controlled manner. Even the local dweebs in charge push a "sustainable growth rate" of 3%. Utter B.S.!! Calculate the doubling time and you'll understand why they are talking about a "Big Australia" .
The one thing that IS guaranteed is that we WILL have zero growth and probably a rapid population crash. We are NOT immune from population dynamics and there is no indication to suggest that we will avoid this fate. Economics says "Grow for Growths sake", History says otherwise History looks like it will repeat, but this time, on a global scale. If it does, the resulting planet will be impoverished both in terms of resources and biodiversity.
