Overpopulated

For most of humanity, the human population is around 100 million. But our population exploded in the last 100 years to over 7 billion today. The population will continue to grow. But there is good news. The current average number of children per woman is 2.2 meaning that the human population will stable at around 11 billion. Can Earth support this many of us?
