Seems natural to me, you read about past ice ages etc.

When I was a kid (1960) the world population was 3 billion, the culmination of milllenniums of population growth.
The population recently topped 7 billion -- an increase of 4 billion in 50 years.
People deride the global warming "hockey stick" graph. You want to see another hockey stick? Look at the population graph -- and there's no disputing that one.
Not surprisingly, the population and climate change graphs show some correlation.
That said, mankind's efforts to avert climate change are likely going to be insufficient if the population continues to grow. Too little, too late.
In nature, when a population of species exceeds the capacity of the environment, a massive die-off follows. Then perhaps a race of sentient cockroaches will take over.
