Having large groups living in mega city heat islands is also an absurd configuration but pretty much the entire world is guilty of that one.

Eh, not really. Cities are better for Co2

Is that established? I believe that there are major giant cities that operate with a lower CO2 footprint than suburban and rural areas might, per capita. But there is the cost of all the CO2 that allowed that urbanization; NYC didn't get the subway without a carbon cost, all that steel in the buildings released a lot of carbon, etc..

CO2 per capita is not the only measure of absurdity.

Because it's not absurd, the advantages of city living are too numerous to count. Your premise is flawed.
