And we will get punished for this through famine and starvation when population overshoot is corrected by a population crash. Billions of people will die in the decades following 2020.

Agriculture, for instance. We also kill off our predators. We destroy habitats in the name of progress. We breed beyond our limits. Animals practice limited competition. Human's hunt down their competitors or destroy their food or deny them access to food. Read Ishmael by Daniel Quinn.
Naw, I believe it was agriculture coupled with a failure to grasp the exponential function.
