Not sure who Paul Ehrlich is or was, and there's no citation given for the statistic that humans occupy only 1 or 2% of the earth's surface, but assuming the figures aren't from as biased a source as the CIA, do we know how much of the earth's land surface CAN be occupied by humans? If the area that CAN'T be occupied by humans, because it's too hot/too cold/too dry etc., is say, for sake of arguement, 80% then the 1 or 2% figure takes on a whole new meaning.

I think the 1-2% statistic needs to be clarified? is it 1-2% if all humans were crowded together standing up? or is it 1-2% taking into account a minimum of space needed for one to live (for the sake of argument, lets assume a 4x7 room), or is it 1-2% after taking into consideration all of the space needed to produce food, energy and fresh water for each person?
