Reply to comment by Kryosite in The IEA says humanity used the greatest amount of coal in 2022 in all of human history, and that this level of consumption will continue until at least 2025. One-third of all global coal goes to generate electricity in China, and India's coal use is growing at 6% per annum. by lughnasadh

If there wasn't 1 billion people there they wouldn't be burning all that coal. Seems to me they could have done something.

This comment is so out of touch with reality it hurts...

Is there not over 1 billion people in both China and India? If there weren't that any people in those places, would they still need to burn all that coal? Please tell me how any of that isn't realistic?

If you propose depopulation there is a start for that...

If you cannot even be bothered to read up on one child policy and while it failed miserably we are back at insanely stupid comment part.

Where have I made a proposal? I don't recall making any proposals. I don't care how the Chinese and India have gotten to the point they are at with their population but that is a them problem. Why should the world enable them to have way too many people? Is it "insanely stupid" to conclude that 1 billion people are going to consume more coal than 100 million people? I don't think so.

They have too many people? By metric of the amount of whine on Reddit maybe? Or what actual metric you use here, really interested in that.

The world is dying because there are too many people on it. Both China and India have over a billion people. The next most populous nation has 330 million. That is almost 3 times as many people. That is my metric. The world needs less people. Logic says you start with the 2 countries with over a billion people.

Why not start with the country that pollutes the most per capita? Killing an American does far more to "save the planet" than killing an Indian or Chinese person does.

I would invite you to come and try.

Bro you okay? Do you normally take statements of fact as personal threats?

pihb666 t1_j0vokjj wrote

Yeah I'm fine. While you did make a statement of fact you also included a threat of killing Americans. Hope you aren't here in the States. The FBI takes a dim view of foreign people making terrorist threats. I can see you have a problem with the US. Can you tell us where the bad American touched you? Do you need a stuffed animal to hug your pain away?

Imagine implying that Chinese & Indian people should be killed then getting butthurt when someone points out it would be more productive to kill Americans if you wanted to reduce waste. Good thing it's winter, snowflakes like you melt outside in the summer.

Where did I imply about killing anyone? Please show me where I advocated for the death of anyone?

You can copy and paste. Good for you. Where in that paragraph did I say anything about killing anyone?

Your attempt at being a Captain Save-a-hoe is commendable but flawed. I never mentioned violence as a solution to our overpopulation problem. Those are your words, not mine. Your whole premise is based off your flawed assumptions and assumptions do not make good debate. Maybe you should have joined the debate team in high school. It would have served you well.

Hey man, just an outside observer. I think I speak for about 90% of the population when I say this, you made an absolute fool of yourself in these comments and any intelligent person who read this can feel the stupidity oozing out of your comments. You probably know you’re not the smartest guy, but DAMN you really went off.

To be clear, are you proposing the slaughter of millions of civilians? How would you plan on carrying this out?

pihb666 t1_j0wea16 wrote

No. I wouldn't carry any plan like that out.

Kryosite t1_j0weqn5 wrote

So you're saying that "we need fewer humans", but apparently China, who put legal limits on the number of children you were able to have, weren't doing enough. Aside from mass murder or sterilization, how could it be possible to produce a world with substantially fewer humans?

Kryosite t1_j0w392g wrote

They did! China famously had a one child policy to reduce population growth, which led to a demographic crisis
