lol. He was still one of the most effective genociders ever. :) But I've argued in the past that a lot of what he did was good. It's rare that someone great is entirely bad.

If we'd gone that way we would have had the "super analog" world as one of my friends called it. Enough expenditure on solar and so on and we'd have had cheaper than coal solar etc... by the mid 90s. Absolutely insanely genocidal, we were.

With all the neo-Malthusians, I wonder if we won't see someone try to one-up old Genghis with an engineered plague. The amount of population-level targeting you could do with engineered pathogens a decade ago was already terrifying. No telling what's brewing in a lab somewhere.

It's a very uncomfortable road to walk down, but with the mass apathy towards climate change and the inaction of corps and politicians, genocide... ... may just work as a mitigation method. If someone wipes out 60% of the population, a transition to solar would be possible.

I have a suspicion it is too late. But perhaps, if there is a real chance of a genuine runaway climate, it would make stopping that possible.
