Humankind likes to condense into major cities. These cities cannot support themselves using the resources available. They have to pull resources from surrounding areas. Look at NYC and all of the fresh water that is pulled from many upstate reservoirs. Therefore pulling it from those areas and affecting their water tables. I know, because I live there.

We are still losing massive amounts of forestland all over the world at an alarming rate.
Humans end up becoming locusts for the areas they cohabitate in. If you can find evidence that all of this is another 'sky is falling' situation, by all means link some peer reviewed papers or studies.

Cities are the biggest problem. Takes way too many resources to support people living in substandard conditions. Spread people out, let them grow their own food and tend their own land. But, then government dependence would decline, and the power mongers would have no.where near as much to control. So that won't happen.
