> a plateau is coming. A downward trend will follow.

The plateau is not coming fast enough, not even close. Scientists are very clear on this point.

We used all that oil and gas to get more work done, but we're still working more hours per year than those feudal peasants.

> people die from too much food than of too little.

We still have thirteen million hungry children in America. 700 million hungry people worldwide.

It's all very solvable, we just don't. We could end world hunger by eating like, two or three rich [0]. Knights and Kings have nothing on our oligarchs.

These trends of irresponsible emissions and rising inequality won't fix themselves. Not in time. Not without radical action.
