My opinion is :
The world is already at about twice it's carrying capacity, according to most experts. The estimate is that the sustainable population of the planet is around 4 billion. (We are over 7 billion.) There are three major problems with this: Disease, poverty, food and water insecurity

That is very sketchy.
I'd require that you provide some back-up data, including complete citations regarding these experts, for both of these:
"according to most experts" (Who are they? What makes them experts?)
and
"The estimate is that the sustainable population of the planet is around 4 billion." (Whose estimate? On what data is this estimate based?)
