The Center for American Progress reports:
Obama is famously low key. That's why on the hit Comedy Central show "Key & Peele", Keegan-Michael Key plays "Luther, President Obama's anger translator". The [annual White House Correspondents' Association dinner], however, is a rare place where the President can cut loose--as long as he uses humor.
In a hilarious admission that he has been too low key to convey the moral outrage justified by humanity's myopic march toward self-destruction--and by the brazen denial of climate science by many conservatives--Obama brought out "Luther" to express that outrage. And then, in an ingenious twist, Obama became so outraged that he didn't need Luther and in fact Luther himself couldn't take the genuinely angry Obama, who says of denial, "What kind of stupid, shortsighted, irresponsible, bull-"
Here's a video of the event.

Nature isn't a conscious being, and we are certainly not on behalf of nature. What is true is that overpopulation will get "corrected" one way or the other. That's already in the word "overpopulation": "over" as in "to much to be sustainable". Note that there are two ways this may be corrected: Either in the population shrinking (probably in a catastrophic way), or in a larger population getting sustainable. The latter goal can be achieved by reducing the average consumption of humans, so the same resources can support more people (and, of course, limiting further growth of the population which otherwise would outgrow also the increased sustainability).
Unfortunately there's no indication that humanity will choose the second way.
