We're not going to run out of fossil fuels. We are going to start running out of habitable biosphere because of climate degradation.

It's only a matter of time - likely a few years - before there's a significant wet-bulb heat catastrophe that kills a huge number of people.

For example.

Just to be clear... Are you saying "amen" to not running out of fossil fuels, or to the possibility of a large number of people dying from heat stress, or both?
To say that I agree with your analysis, not that I think a mass casualty event is a good thing.
