Your ever-widening definition of "uninhabitable" includes vast areas of the world that are already habitated by millions, if not billions, of people. That is arguing in bad faith. And you're trying to argue that having more than a football field squared, for every person to live in - all by their selves, is a 'small parcel.' That is arguing in bad faith. And now you're adding child-like strawmen on top, which is once again - arguing in bad faith. And I still have no idea why you think oil running out has any role in your argument at all. I completely agree it'll run out eventually, possibly within our lifetimes. It's unlikely to lead to anything particularly catastrophic as once reserves do start declining (keep in mind proven reserves have been increasing faster than production for decades), the price of oil will steadily rise, and it'll create some solid economic incentives to comfortably transition to other energy sources. |

It constitutes something to the tune of 9% of Earths land mass.
And it's already inhabited by millions if not billions of people? Really? Is Sahara-Desert habitable also?
Not the tiny parcels next to an Oasis, not people that live next to Nile.
But actual-effin-desert habitable? And billions live there - right chock in the middle of desert?
Interesting, very interesting indeed!
> And I still have no idea why you think oil running out has any role in your argument at all.
Oddly enough, your argument that earth isn't overpopulated, because there's still "a lot of room left in the desert, look at Saudis, UAE, Quatar!" hinges on Oil!
Your proof that deserts are habitable is basically - taking Saudis, UAE, Qatar - as an example.
Which is true, if you have infinite-money-hack, you abso-effin-lutely can man make it rain in the middle of desert (or middle of the ocean on a megayacht), ACs, green-patios, lambos, pools, artificial islands, giga-turbo-mega-towers and the most opulent displays of wealth!
Except it's not infinite money hack at all. It's very much 47years of partying left type of finite.

Dude, your whole opening statement was how few people on earth there are or how large the earth is by comparing it to a mass grave.
Your whole argumentation is childish-wishfull thinking or an indoctrinated adult who just isn't very bright, saying you're arguing in bad faith would be putting it very kindly.
That being said, this conversation is obviously over.
