You say that because high-IQ people created the modern world, we should not give money to low-IQ people. But “the modern world” includes threats of bio-terrorism, climate change, and cyber-conflict. Intelligence has given us all that; it is thus merely a neutral quality.

“Bulldozers can be used to crush people therefore bulldozers are not a net positive” nice argument you have there

If bulldozers aid some psychos but greatly improve life overall and that’s the end of it, bulldozers are a net positive. This is not the case with the modern world. I recommend you study the second law of thermodynamics, as well as Ronald Wright’s notion of the progress trap.

I have a physics degree lol

This is not a valid rebuttal to my actual points; it is simply an appeal to authority.

If your argument is that further CO2 causes global warming, it doesn’t and can’t.

That which is asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.

Agreed. So: what’s the mechanism by which further CO2 causes the earth to warm?

The Dutch were pretty evil though...

Leopold II was actually a largely understood humanist.
