There will come a time when the population will crash not due to your god calling in the chips but to human ...[text shortened]... at the tremendous rate going on now? Or does that not fit into the biblical description of sin?
This is pure speculation on your part. You have no idea how many people this planet could hold comfortably, nor do you consider space exploration a possibility. All you know is that certain statists have all the answers for now, and will be more than happy to "save" humanity from themselves by forcing them not to have children.
Really, there is no end to "saving" the mother earth, is there and there are no end to the parade of statists who will gladly tell us how to go about it. Actually, mother earth will someday be engulfed by the sun and evaporate. Think of that, mankind had NOTHING to do with it!! In short, there is no "saving" the planet for all eternity. Someday, all species will go exinct.
Now are there wise things we can do to conserve resources? Yes, but that does not mean I would agree with just any plan nor wil there be mass agreement. In the end, those that decide will be on one side of a gun and the populace on the other side, whether they are right or wrong.
As for myself, I look to God for salvation. Man certainly has no concept of what salvation is nor will they ever.
