The Indian rice export ban, the war in Ukraine and El Niño are combining to create a “doom loop” for the world’s poorest people, as staple food prices soar.

Ok… Now let’s see the positive effects of less people…
Climate change certainly gets a little less fuel…
Those who can not afford to eat are probably not making much CO2 emissions.
Yeah, once they cannot afford the food they stop making any CO2.
Exactly.
Not sure if you caught the text of what they’re saying: people who can’t afford to eat rice starving to death aren’t removing much of humanity’s carbon footprint.
Look further down the thread, its a joke and i know that.
Where you suggest twice that nuclear war would be good or that your whole life is a joke?
I feel fucked up ways about stuff too. Nothing wrong with it and all that negativity’s gotta go somewhere. Just wanted to head the ecofascism train off at the pass.
I literally clarified that while it would help against climate change its not something that is a good option at all and that im against it…
Its a Example of some fucked up view that would at least make sense on a technical level, unlike making food prices higher and killing those that already don’t pollute like at all…
It doesn’t make sense even on a technical level. Cities are all near water and their fallout plumes would irradiate huge swaths of the earth to the east in addition to everything downstream.
The infrastructure of civilization is all clustered around cities as well, so we’d lose access to the best spots to live.
I got nothing but sympathy for you, thirty years ago that bit would have killed. Today everyone assumes you’re serious.
No humans = No worries about climate change…
So it does work. The point is that its absolutely not a Reasonable option at all.
Also nukes aren’t dirty bombs, they don’t do that much radiation, most of the nuclear material gets turned into pure fusion energy. So they are kinda environmentally friendly in a way…
It’s culling the wrong demographic. Removing poor people is the least efficient. Removing the poorest will have the least effect possible.
These comments always make me wonder wether it’s a lack of education, bad taste or racism.
Can people like you maybe read a little further down the thread, like i literally explained in detail why that comment is completely ridiculous and i don’t understand how someone could take it as a serious comment.
Its literally a joke.
Yes, I read it before. No, it didn’t change much. Where’s the joke, what’s funny about this?
On the other hand, too many people write these comments seriously, which is enough reason to counter them.
It’s downplaying the climate crisis and normalizing racism. You can insist it was done in a lighthearted way, but that’s not so relevant.
No one needs poor.
Except the people who prefer to pay less for their goods and services. They depend on people willing / forced to work for very little; they need the poor.
Also this is not a business where you could hire and fire people based on what is ‘needed’, and you’re not the boss.
These are humans with exactly the same right to food as you.
They are nothing but numbers in a spreadsheet.
