Not that it matters much, postfossil indefinitely sustainable planetary population is a lot less than one billion, perhaps as low as 100 million. It would be just 500000 if we were a just another species our size.
Yes, we haven’t been longterm sustainable even since preindustrial times. Worse, the carrying capacity after all is sung and done will be a lot lower than the preindustrial one.
Did you read my second paragraph, about the postfossil planetary ecosystem carrying capacity? And no, without fossil fuels you can’t build and maintain renewable or nuclear energy infrastracture, either.
This. And it’s 10% by income and not 10% by wealth. If you are even in the 2% of income ($180k/y), you’re basically a wageslave with a chance not to retire in time
10%, chances are very good that you’re it.

In 1800 the global population was a bit over 1billion.

No, I don’t have a pre-tax income above $70k USD. Do you?
I do, or close enough.
