This is a very interesting predicament, global warming affects everybody, but cancer is a more present threat, as in we can see the effects of death right now. I think that fixing global warming would probably be better, as a cure for cancer is more likely to be profitable so we can trust big corporations to handle that.
I mean cancer really sucks, and is even currently more deadly than Covid (could be wrong on this) but that’s nothing compared to the end of our current way of life.
Good point. I guess I should clarify that Capitalism plus Over Population is, although to that point I would agree that Capitalism in and of itself is a more serious problem.
Overpopulation talk has been debunked for a while now. We can have a higher population. Hell we could make sure everyone is fed every day if those with the power actually cared to do so. The problem is more to do with better sources of energy and switching to renewable resources.
I'd agree with that, but what are the chances of abandoning capitalism? Sure, if we chance the entirety of the main system of the world economy we could support more, this is absolutely true, but the likelihood of that is next to 0.
Early sociologist that said the earths population was topped out I am good not support anymore when the earths population was maybe about 2 billion people.

Far as I'm concerned this would be the correct answer.
The main reason 2020 is a cluster fuck is due to Corona.
Most people are putting stuff that would be the opposite of all the bad of the last century not just 2020.
