Only if we go about with living unsustainably. And actually population growth is already stagnating, so we probably won't grow too much from here. If I remember correctly, the estimate is that we will reach 11Bn by 2050, then decrease down to 9 Bn before 2100 and it'll stabilize at that level.

Nah its already too late to do much about gobal warming. The sea levels will rise the next 100 years going forwards, even if we stopped all polution today.

Its not about trying to live more sustainably now, that times already past.

Our enviroment is going to be differnt 100 years from now, and we ll just have to adapt to liveing in it.

That depends a lot on what you mean by "do much". If we, hypothetically were to stop all greenhouse gas emission today, then the total incurred temperature increase from humans would be just below 2 degrees celsius. If we continue on our current path, the difference is massive (6 degrees celsius) and the difference in consequences is even higher. If we are to go for a realistic estimate, a temperature increase of 4 degrees celsius is pretty reasonable.
