    Sure, in the developed richer countries, but not in the poor countries. Millions to hundrends of millions of people in poor countries would die.

      Why? Why would going green mean they can’t grow food suddenly? What about coal power and cow farts means you can’t grow corn?

        It doesnt mean you cant, it means that everything is more expensive, and means people in foreign countries cant afford things they need even more. If something like a billion people in the world are food insecure, a mild drought could make them starve.

          Meat would get more expensive yes. But energy production is perfectly capable of switching over without a bump. And non meat farm products would actually become cheaper as supply increases. We’re not magically causing a drought with such a changeover, at least not any extra ones.

            Think of the people in the world that are just getting by with just enough food to surive. If there were artificially made more expensive by world requirements on emissions and energy usage, this would make the things the poorest need too expensive for them to get and a simple drought would push them into starvation.

                Do you understand how the plan to save the environment would make everything more expensive?

                  I’ve explained how food should remain available and well priced. All you’ve done is make general assertions. Hand waiving isn’t going to to do it when we need to be acting.

                    So then that is a “no” you dont understand. Sorry dude, there are too many gaps in your knowledge for me to explain this over the internet.
