Humans > Environment.

In principle, I don't entirely disagree with that, however, humans are part of the environment. We need "the environment" to survive, such as a sustainable marine ecosystem. I mean, if there are no more fish to catch due to overfishing then humans will be in trouble, too.

All well and good until you run out of environment. If the ocean is overfished and its ecosystem collapses, the people who depend on it for food will starve anyway.

This. We either use the little bit of abusing the ocean we have left to flatten out population curves, or the population crashes to a much lower level later on.

We wouldn't need such dramatic changes to combat global warming if the population didn't continually exponentially expand.
