Why would the carrying capacity drop? The sourced article is full of unsourced prose http://www.paulchefurka.ca/CC_Overshoot.html
Sorry greenpeace, I'm an environmentalist myself, but this article is just a bunch of made up BS

The graph is from this article: https://peakoilbarrel.com/carrying-capacity-overshoot-and-species-extinction/
...which cites the article you linked, but also this paper: https://vaclavsmil.com/wp-content/uploads/PDR37-4.Smil_.pgs613-636.pdf
It would be nicer, if it was in some renown journal, so we'd know some sort of peer review has taken place. This certainly could still be entirely made up. But it looks a lot more convincing/sourced than most articles.
