Majority of habitat loss is caused not by housing but by resource use (mining, agriculture, industry).Assuming all those 4bn were as shown as the bottom 50%.
But the video shows far more than just emissions doesn't it.
It shows the massive habitat loss due to humans and it shows the massive loss of the Arctic ice.
We already know that humanity is consuming significantly more of the planet natural resources than are sustainable - 1.5x.
So over 8 billions of people spell disaster for planet Earth.
Again, you can kill 4 billion people and not make a major dent in world-wide consumption of all those things, which are as skewed to the top as carbon emissions. As your sentence in bold says, it is the resource consumption that is the problem.
