A Malthusian catastrophe could occur when a population's growth outpaces its resources, particularly food supply, leading to widespread famine, disease, and mortality. Factors contributing to this scenario include rapid population growth, depletion of arable land, climate change impacting agricultural yields, and unsustainable consumption patterns. If technological advancements in food production do not keep pace with population increases, the imbalance could trigger a catastrophic decline in population and living standards.
Reverend Thomas Malthus believed that massive population growth would facilitate famine or disease. This phenomenon was called a Malthusian catastrophe. It was thought to cause an equally massive decrease in population.
Malthusian League was created in 1877.

No. The only way a comet could cause a catastrophe would be if it collided with Earth. The orbit of Halley's Comet keeps it at a safe distance from us.

A synonym for calamity could be disaster, catastrophe, or debacle.
The term "catastrophe" can refer to events caused by a variety of factors, including weather-related disasters (such as hurricanes, tornadoes, or floods), geologic events (such as earthquakes or volcanic eruptions), and human-caused disasters (such as industrial accidents or wars). The specific cause of a catastrophe can vary depending on the situation.
The Malthusian Trap is the theory that, as population growth is ahead of agricultural growth, there must be a stage at which the food supply is inadequate for feeding the population.
