Does capitalism really need growth to survive?

It seems to be accepted that capitalism need growth to survive.  I don't
understand why.

It seems to me that growth is the root of resource scarcity, excessive
pollution, and global conflict.  Those problems will make the survival of
capitalism unlikely.  From this point of view uncontrolled hyper-active
growth will end capitalism prematurely.

Just why, technically, MUST capitalism grow?
