You are 100% correct and I've also been wondering out loud why politicians and other leaders are afraid to even mention that elephant in the room. It's behind the causes of most but not all ills in the world at present. The main problem is that the increase is driven by 3rd world countries and there is no politically correct way to tell them to invest in rubbers while telling European countries to have more kids, (they have a negative birth rate in some cases).
The dirty secret is that economic growth, which requires an ever expanding pool of consumers or the increased affluence of existing consumers and fixing the environment are not compatible. That's what no one wants to say out loud but every smart person on earth understands.
And yeah, that's another thread.
