Logically:
You have an elitist strata on the planet that believes that climate change requires immediate drastic action. They say this constantly.
Then the same people also, less publicly, call for a world population figure of 500,000,000. A reduction of 6.5 billions.
There are too many armed people in this world to just start rounding them up. The logistics of that are impossible anyhow.
To the elites then there are only two effective routes. The first is to cut off food supplies. But there you run into the armed population problem and the fact that you soldiers might not remain loyal when their families are being starved.
The other avenue is disease. This can backfire, but the elites have set up redoubts for themselves and their picked henchmen.
Outlandish? I don’t think so. I expect to see the plan t starve the world become a planned plagues.
Not a word to disagree with.
There are a LOT of very evil people out there. They have the money, the power and now what they believe is, the momentum.
