3. absolutely

the fact is that humans are ultimately just like any other animal. At the moment our rate of population growth, resource consumption and waste production are unsustainable.

Sure it wont likely reach dire straits within my lifetime (well, hopefully not), but unless the human population slows or stabilises were going to have a situation of either vastly reduced living and enviromental standards and increaced competition for resources leading to conflicts and instability. Well end up culling ourselves, most probably, through conflict or starvation, even more than we do at the moment.
