Ask God, not me.

The biggest economic crisis facing mankind is an overabundance of production capacity, resources and goods and a falling fertility rate.

There's no scarcity anywhere -- except that which has been caused by regional or global government corruption, greed, malfeasance and evil. We don't have too many people, we have too many bureaucrats.

One last thought:

Poverty is when you have too many people for the resources of a given geographic area. When we see people living in poverty, we have a Christian duty to assist them. Scripture is crystal clear on this point.

But what happens when, by verbal engineering, you give poverty a new name?

By calling it overpopulation, you remove from yourself any obligation to assist them that scripture demands. You can then tell those living in poverty, "Its your own fault! If you'd just stop having babies, you wouldn't be living in a state of overpopulation." Then we can assuage our guilty conscience by sending them condoms and Norplant and suction vacuum abortion kits, instead of corn and educational and infrastructure assistance, and feel morally superior for our worldly wisdom and helping stop global warming.

Scripture talks about that too:

34"Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.' 37"Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?' 40"The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'

14What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him? 15 Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. 16 If one of you says to him, "Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed," but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it? 17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.
