The Green Revolution of the 1960s proved that we could - that Malthusian claims were BS. What we have now is those same Malthusians actively sabotaging the roots of the Green Revolution by shutting down energy and means of production. Technically mass murder.

- vkou 4y agoDo we also get to describe carbon-polluting energy generation in the same terms? As 'technically mass murder'? What's your suggested next step? Line up the 'technical mass murderers' against the wall?
- kristjansson 4y agoThe Green Revolution proved we could increase crop production through additional inputs, not magic. We moved the constraint from local soil conditions to global resource extraction.
