For the current population to be environmentally sustainable, everyone should live at most like the people of Niger.

You want worse than Niger?

nice strawman you have there.
as if walkable cities with solid public transport, green electricity, efficient heating, localized food production without wasteful feed import from burned down rainforest would be equal to go back living in caves.
I want better for everyone in a sustainable way.

Would still be too much ecological footprint for 8 billion people, much less 10.

nah, it would work out. issue is we're not really trying to get there fast enough.

whether it really would work out or not, it is still the better option than the alternative:
nuking all of the US, Canada, Europe and Russia.
