Amazing, and people wonder why there is this immense backlash to environmentalists.
"Tons of people will die, but thats fine if it achieves my political/environmental goals"
- danudey 6mo ago7 million people per year die prematurely from air pollution alone. Are you suggesting we should just keep killing those people indefinitely instead? Those 7 million lives were apparently never worth fixing things for; now maybe we can shift away from a fossil fuel-driven economy and cut back on a lot of that pollution, and maybe save a ton of lives in the long run. Yes it is horrible that people are going to die from famines, no one is arguing against that, but maybe it will result in shifting our economy to something where people don't die of famines and also don't die of air pollution.
- fakedang 6mo agoThe number of people who'd die from famines will be much much higher than 7 million per year.
