Even if I approach this with the most open mind possible, it seems mired in numbers without any sort of context to them, wishful thinking regarding the impact or even the feasibility of certain technologies (shout out to artificial meat), ignoring that lithium battery production also produces massive CO2, BLATANTLY ignoring that alternative energy production has only become profitable in Europe because of weird marginal pricing schemes that are, in practice, direct grants to private corporations AKA "sending the right market signals" and I'm only halfways through. The thing that stands to me is the very beginning, the GOOD NEWS MANY PEOPLE IN THE FIRST WORLD WILL PROBABLY NOT DIE seems like a thing everyone will settle with, probably covid rhetoric finally coming to roost.
