You just inverted your argument.

No I didn't.

[labour is a renewable resource...]
Oil, however, isn't.

Isn't what?

A renewable resource - sorry, I thought that was obvious from the
context.

But it also begs the question - isn't six billion enough already?

Well, 200 years ago, Malthus said 800 million was enough already.

In my opinion, Malthus was right. IMHO, the world would be a better
place had the population levelled at 800M.
