it has a 'short' life-span as compared to shyte such as the Spanish flu 
Then you also have Marburg Hemorrhagic Fever that acts in a similar way to Ebola.
Ebola is not that virulent? Just watch some of these videos.

OP
Amen, Martin. While I do think population control will be self-regulating, the methods for that self-regulation will be rather cruel and inhumane indeed.
But I do think all it will take to tip the equilibrium in some areas is a drought, a famine, a civil war -- we're not even talking about global climate change yet -- to leave wide swaths of the dead. Some socieities are balancing on a pinhead. Look to all the dead societies of the Aztecs, the original Sumarian culture, etc. Most of those are considered wiped out due to climate-caused collapse of the food supply and access to resources.

Erik, so how is that gill-and-fin-growing mutation thing going for you lately?
No, seriously. Anyone in Holland these days can probably measure global warming with how wet their socks get.

A rising sea will drive system of deltaworks that have protected us from it so far to the very edge, any medium-intense storm will rip them apart and cause a major flood (this is expected to happen within the next 50 years) that will see the total destruction of Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague, Haarlem, Alkmaar, Utrecht and many other cities.
Raging rivers and increased rainfall will ultimately (within the next 100 years) destroy Arnhem, Eindhoven, Nymegen, Groningen and basically just every other remaining stronghold of Dutch culture which is them doomed to disappear off the face of the earth.
Unless we figure something out. Quick.
