As to the starving of 4 billion people, that makes no sense because nobody wants to fun the thermostat down. That would send us backwards towards an ice age. We, at least I, would like to see us take our boot off the warming distruction of the planet. Stop cutting rain forests (that provide oxygen for us to breath) and replacing them with coffee plantations that provide far less oxygen. Stop polluting the land, sea, rivers, lakes and the air. Stop applauding folks who have more than 2 kids. Over population is, imo, the root of all humanities woes. (Nobody has to kill anybody. Cutting the birth rate means more of everything for the living, a better quality of life). Cut the use of fossil fuels and replace them when we can with other, cleaner sources of energy. My list goes on, but the basic idea is for human beings to help make our planet a healthier, cleaner, better, bio-rich place for our species to engage in more ethical pursuits than the petty squabbles over wealth, land and power.
We've "paved paradise and put up a parking lot". Think how it could be if we could "get ourselves back to the garden", knowing what we know now.

Notice that the northern tip of The Villages is in a Winter Weather alert -- for tomorrow. Green energy users will have problems staying safe and warm.
