One likely adaptation is the deaths of a few billion people from famine and resource wars.
- forgetfreeman 3y agoShitty, grim, blood-soaked first thought in response to your comment: I read something 30 years ago that suggested the maximum sustainable "utopian" carry capacity of the planet was something like 3 billion humans. Regardless of the accuracy of that claim deleting a sizeable percentage of the world population is technically the most effective strategy we have for seriously reducing carbon emissions.
- red-iron-pine 3y agoWe have, arguably, proven that correct -- 7, going on 8 billion isn't sustainable, and most people are broke as fuck. Purging a few hyperwealthy types won't change how much carbon is generated by 8 billion humans.
- forgetfreeman 3y agoI wasn't proposing we purge -only- the hyperwealthy.
