Add to that all of the environmental costs of housing, clothing and feeding that extra 5 billion people Then add the environmental costs of lighting & heating, plus transport of both people & goods, etc etc . .
I vaguely recall a book/film (whatever) many years ago about a society that culled everyone over the age of 50 (I think it was 50, could have been 30)   |
A bit less - in total, 2.5 billion tonnes.

The book was Logan’s Run, and the age was 21 (the film raised it to 30).
