You’re being downvoted, and I don’t agree with the conclusion you’re drawing or the framing of it as a positive thing, but I find it surprising how many people are uncomfortable with the notion that global warming is fundamentally about population control. I don’t think there’s a realistic long term solution to global warming that doesn’t implicitly include mass sterilization (through policy and incentives) and, as a result, what amounts to genocide. The earth can’t support an infinite amount of people, and if the natural tendency is for the earths population to grow beyond what the environment can support, that means that the right to exist on this planet will become a limited resource that’s subject to all the same economic rules as any other limited resource. Don’t forget that the main contributor to global warming is agriculture, not SUVs. I think it’s morally cheap of people to talk about the seriousness of global warming and the necessity of solving it without thinking far out about what sort of world they’re imagining. There must be global one child policies. They must be enforced strongly. Consumption must be limited. And it’s all dependent on the idea that all governments are unified enough to enforce policies against their people that run against basic human desires, while also holding every other government accountable for enacting similar policies, and none is corrupt enough to break the rules. I agree that global warming is real. I agree that it’s an incredible danger to humanity. But when you consider the type of world necessary to actually follow through with fixing global warming, you come to the conclusion that it’s a world that’s best ruled by a totalitarian global government where the norm is that most are robbed of basic human experiences like eating well and having children. Is that even a world worth saving? So to those responding that this parent comment is in bad taste, I agree, but I am someone who is doesn’t believe in trying stopping global warming to begin with, so I’m allowed to not see a silver lining in mass death. Are you? If you’re not okay with my parent comments reasoning but you do believe that global warming must be stopped, I have to wonder what you think solving global warming is going to be like in a few hundred years, and if you’re prepared for the moral hazards much worse than this.
