In fact, this is the first generation in the history of mankind worldwide where starvation isn't rule. Capitalism, technology, wealth, and fossil fuels did that, not communism, which is nothing more than a scientific-sounding name for feudalism..
And until you find a way to replace fossil fuels, electric vehicles merely make the problem worse, due to the inefficiency of burning the fossil fuel 50 miles away, and sending it over wires to store in a battery that requires more carbon to make than it ever saves. You aren't replacing anything by mowing down forests for windmills and photocells that only produce power 50% of the time under the best conditions. We need a new technology. You won't get new technology by rolling back the progress of the last 100 years.
Figure out a way to save the climate that doesn't involve starving billions, and I'll get interested. In the mean time, we have much more pressing problems to solve than the weather 100 years from now. For instance, there are still about 15,000 nukes pointed at us that could end ALL life on Earth over a computer glitch.
How about a little common sense for once?

I can state what I believe to be common sense. World temperatures for the last 10 years have been INCREASING each year. It is easy to google a graph of that. A graph of world population starts rising in about 1990 and the graph looks similar to that of World Temperatures. That is because they are related. I can easily state how to save the world from excess Global Warming, but 95% of all Climate Scientist have been saying how for years and nobody listened. In fact everybody's favorite almost President Al, the injured by slings and arrows, Gore told everyone many, many years ago. The rich 1% ( many of them owner of gas and oil stocks) got their LOBBYIST cronies for the oil and gas to use humor to decry VP Gore's EARLY, but CORRECT warnings.
.......Note......I said NOTHING about Mao and Chinese history.
........The wires that move electrical energy have negligible power loss because the transformers can get the Voltage up so the current is LOW. POWER equals Current times Voltage.
.....And in paragraph 2......Most windmills are located in places that originally do not have forests, such as out west at the tops of rocky mountains or on the sea coast or in sea water.
