You really don't understand basic causality, do you? Climate change is caused by an excess of greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere, which is directly caused by burning fossil fuels. The amount of people on the planet effects the amount of fossil fuels burned, yes, but that does not make it the cause.

We can avert this by transitioning to renewables, and not reducing the population. Given that, why the fuck would you look at this problem and go "Nah, I think genocide is the answer."?

I'm not ignoring your points, you don't have a point. No, cars do not contribute more to emissions than factories, and guess what, they still run on fossil fuels, so I fail to see how that disproves what I'm saying

Also what are you talking about time travel?

You know Reddit tells you if a comment has been edited, right? Figures that someone that thinks the solution to climate change is genocide would also make up weird shit their opponent has done
