Just get to the root of the problem, TOO MANY HUMANS!!!

What happens when the Chinese require the same standard of living as western
nations and we all start warring over earth resources?

It isn't that there are too many people on the planet but the fact that
they each, on average, consume too much energy. Thinking along the lines of
reducing energy consumption by reducing population levels is quite pointless.
It is the equivalent of cutting off a leg to try and lose weight. Try eating
less!
