Doing literally nothing to reduce fossil fuels would be better than the thing we are currently doing, which is subsidising them. Really puts into perspective all the climate "promises".

Mass starvation is a price we're willing to pay. End the subsidies... /s

Gee whiz, you pretended to be me and said something I didn't say! I'm so owned right now!

Mass starvation is indeed better than the extinction of mankind.

What is the point of an economy if there is no one left to use it?

Expensiver oil would lead to faster availlability of oecological alternative products to stuff made out of oil.
