It’s not even that we’re destroying the planet and our health so that everyone has enough.

- barbazoo 1y agoParent claimed > basically starvation and even hunger for many people has been eliminated That's false unless by "basically" they mean "everyone but 750 million people.

We’re doing the right things is the only way to interpret the data. Doesn’t mean perfect but certainly fertilizers and plastics and petro-chemicals have been a massive net positive.
