This assumes that population distribution doesn't chanage so that this
statement is no longer accurate.  50 years is a long time.  100 years
even longer.

Imagine, hypothetically, that energy costs increase to the equivalent of
$100/gallon gasoline.  In that instance, people are going to relocate to
highly energy-efficient urban centers, largely in temperate regions,
resulting in much greater population density there, and much lower
elsewhere.
