So true!

Free speech, thought and debate will lead to solutions and these will work best at local level.

When solutions are worked out at global level implementations create havoc at local level and at best won’t get to the best outcome.

It's interesting that, even as there have been undercurrents of Malthusianism present among elites for a long time, mainstream establishment progressivism at least used to pretend to be for improving the lives and material conditions of the common man. Regardless of its actual results or intent, that was at least the message broadcast to the masses as its purpose. Now it's turned to almost explicitly "Things will be worse for you than they used to be, and worse for your children (if you have them, which maybe you shouldn't because of climate change) than they were for you, but this is necessary in order to save the world (from the very humans we used to at least pretend to want to make things better for)." It's very weird.
