when you state "due to anti-development bigotry and discredited climate change advice" I could not agree more.
It is my understanding that the report was commissioned and, following a change of government, new guidelines were issued that specifically instructed the authors NOT to consider dams and irrigation, Well, the results would inevitably be a report that is really quite worthless.
Once again I read calls for there to be a cessation from increased demand due to population increases, calls for 'population' control etc. and, once again no proposing a mechanism for achieving said population control. The Chinese solution perhaps?
The only mechanism I have seen for Effective population control is both the Chinese solution and wealth generation.
Hot to facilitate wealth generation? cheap plentifully food and cheap plentiful energy.
Can anyone here recommend a 'third way'?
