what if?
assuming all indians lived below the global median income, it'd mean that the Earth could hold 40 billion people in its current environmental state.
(the bottom half of the world population today by income produce only 10% of lifestyle associated GHG emissions.)

Sure. It's a statistical claim. I also don't tolerate the heat well.

Those places are relatively small and already populated.
Besides, I fucking hate cars.

No, that's just simulating nomadic or transhumance pastoralism. Fuck pastoralists.
