Food prices will increase by 80% by 2050.
What's colloquially termed as "money printing" is monetary policy that involves central banks decreasing interest rates to increase the money supply. Central banks around the world are raising interest rates, the exact opposite of "printing money".
The demand for food is inelastic because people gotta eat. Are you denying that disruptions in food supply wouldn't result in an upward pressure on price? Basic principles of supply and demand don't exist simply because things you've read on the internet tend to avoid criticizing Valdimir Putin's actions? Propaganda indeed.
Wow so you're really going all in on "screw future generations"? While the old saw of "the victors write the history books" isn't always true, it is true that future generations will write the history books. What do you suppose the history books will say about people that have your attitude?
I agree. Using public transit instead of driving is a much better solution. So are you going to get rid of your car because there's a better solution? Or at least get an electric car?
This is a temporary solution to reduce carbon emissions for people that are going to continue driving vehicles that emit CO2. It is certainly not a solution, it's just something that buys us a little more time for the more permanent solutions to be implemented.
They sound like an accelerationist
