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.

Perhaps so but have we ruled out everything else?
Then we'd have to figure a way to lower the population. Now the question is how? Spike the global water supply with contraceptives? Again, we don't know if it can even work.
So on that track, is there a way to actually know what the capacity of the environment is? Without knowing what it is first, it is going to be difficult to figure anything out. I remember a documentary telling us about how they predicted oil would run out before they sunk the first well. Without knowing how much oil there really is, you cannot predict when it runs out. Same here.
