Re: Deaths are not the only metric
"We are in the unfortunate position that we have grown accustomed to a lifestyle that is expensive in terms of energy and -- not wishing to give up that lifestyle"
There are also so many of us on the planet that pulling the plug on energy production would lead to many deaths in a short period of time. In the mean time, we have medicine, sanitation, roads, etc. The lower generating density of wind and solar would work better if fewer people were standing in line with their buckets to get some. Instead of addressing that issue, governments are looking at ways to pay people to have more children in the first world. Part of that may be to perpetuate their infinite growth model and plan. The larger churches need the increase to maintain headcount (donations/tithes).
