We have tons of room to grow of course. Hell maybe the earth could support25 or 50 billion people. Awesome. Imagine trying to stop then. At a rate of a new Mexico City every day. You don't hit the brakes after you pass the stop sign.
The only thing that dooms the Earth certainly is the sun. Anything else can be prevented by our sheer will of wanting to do so. We can turn away meteors, we can have alternative fuels, we can stop rampant growth. We only need the will to do so.
