It will eventually correct itself by the usual mechanisms. War, starvation, and disease.

Yeah, humans are no different from other animals in this regard. When a species has resources, it breeds as rapidly as possible and exhausts all sources of sustenance without regard for the future. Then its numbers collapse in a great die-off.

Currently, of our 7.4 billion population nearly 2 billion are at or near starvation levels. We are using resources at an ever increasing rate while still breeding like crazy. I just hope we can develop AI before the inevitable Malthusian collapse sets us back to Stone Age numbers.

I see the evolution of an artificial intelligence species as the logical successor to humans. This is the only species that can leave earth and travel to other solar systems as it becomes an intra-, even inter-galactic lifeform.
