So I take it you've never lived in Tokyo then?

So with a non island land area of 64519km2 (http://www.ga.gov.au/scientific-top...ions/area-of-australia-states-and-territories)

and a global population close enough to 7.19 bill (http://www.census.gov/popclock/)

you get 111 440 people per km2.

As you no doubt would know, considering you gave the argument, Tokyo is made up of considered to be made up of 23 smaller cities with the most densely populated areas in Tokyo having just over 20 000 people per km2 and the least having under 4000 people per km2.

so your maths are wrong, plain and simple.

could we fit the world's population in tasmania? if you want to live in filth and squalor on a 2 x 2m box in a stack of boxes a kilometre high, then maybe.

As for the world being over populated - look at the rate of raw material consumption, farmland degradation and ocean destruction and try to make an argument to the contrary.
