Nothing about that statement has anything to do with any particular party and is neither political nor biased against ANY ethnic group or even religion.

As far as fusion is concerned I just yesterday hear a scientist say that the recent news, while important, is MERELY proof of CONCEPT. He listed SO many problems taking years to go from concept proof to practical application. Most likely, none of us will be alive to see electricity generated in practical quantities. If someone in Villageland wanted to do something constructive for their grandchildren, they would buy an electric golf cart.

As far as

It is a COLDLY calculated statement of PROBLEMS facing the WORLD. which are so LARGE and comprehensive that they make politics seem like a child's game. China does NOT even have political parties or Russia, but they DO have CO2-emitting fossil fuel vehicles. And Russia has a WAR machine that contributes NOTHING to the
world and wastes fossil fuel for the purpose of killing people and destroying grain and agriculture that the whole world needs. That is part of the war and pestilence PROBLEM that I have been speaking about. Compared to these world climate and other large problems, individual countries' internal politics PALE in comparison.

As far as China's past attempt at population control failing.......I am NOT a Chinese history expert. I believe that they MANDATED married couples to have only one child. Then people wanted ONLY male children and they were even killing female babies. Apparently, that was NOT a well-thought-out solution and they gave it up. I will give them credit for the concept of TRYING to equate their population with their resources at the time. But, they maybe should have tried some different solution like maybe (just spitballing here) having a LOTTERY to pick the parents to have children. Using CHANCE to determine parenthood would at least be fair and they could have ended up with about 50% males and an equal number of females. I am sure that someone in Villageland is more capable of discussing Chinese history that what I just presented.

How do you get up in the morning? I guarantee the climate won’t collapse in ten years. I can’t guarantee you or I will be alive in ten years. I have no guarantees about nuclear wars but then that wasn’t the subject, was it? Have faith and be the positive force in the world and not the negative Nellie who can’t accomplish anything.

So science is reporting a great discovery in fusion energy and all you can do is say it’s too late. And how is your research on Chinese population control issues coming along?

Yeah, you need to update your knowledge regarding Chinese population control which includes the fact that they were now attempting to encourage couples to have children due to the severe drop in population. Search under China being haunted by it’s one child policy. I’ll wait to hear from you after you done the extensive research.

And I personally find your earlier post to be extremely political and slanted. IMHO.

You beat me to it. China wanted population control but unfortunately the whole idea has gotten away from them.

They have a disaster in the making as the population ages and they have to figure out how to finance their version of social security while facing a huge shortage of workers as their population quickly ages..

Part of China's worker shortage is that they killed them off by having a bad, ineffective "HOMEGROWN" Covid vaccine. They refused to use effective ones like the US developed. China crashed headlong into the principle that wars and pestilence control populations. And the Russian war with the Ukraine is an example of war controlling both their populations.

Well, it appears that 99% of scientists have reached the consensus that Global Warming is real and man-made. Now they are turning their attention to things like improving battery life for electric vehicles and improving the power grid and hardening sub-stations, Science never stops.

The population issue was pre-covid and I personally find these premises ridiculous. You can’t sell your positions to anyone who is even slightly educated in the current climate debate. I’m moving on.
