While pictures like that look impressive, they're not necessarily significant. Humans only occupy some 10% of the land on earth, which just isn't much.

I see this one a lot and it strikes me as lazy thinking. Sure, we could fit the entire human population on a standard residential lot in West Texas...but we don't.

Humans, of course, occupy and change the most productive areas. The areas we leave are generally inhospitable to us, or much of anything else.

A good bit of the non ocean surface of this planet is rocks, ice or sand. The 10% that we are camped on is most of the best, and we harvest off of more than that.

Do you understand what "not necessarily" means, or are you making up conclusions on my behalf again? You do raise a fair point, bar the deliverance. But with indoor farming we can turn just about anything hospitable with today's technology.

Help we could turn those massive insane caves into massive indoor farms too. People often forget about how insanely large underneath us is.

As well as above us.

The original point though was that the planet likely doesn't give a shit about us pooping ourselves on minuscule portions of land. @jojo
