Megacities and Rulers

Since 1970, Super-Organizations of the world, the United Nations, governing officials in the European Union, Australia, Canada, and the United States have sounded the alarm about man-made global warming, demanding that we switch to Net-Zero production of CO2.
About half of the world’s population lives in megacities and other huge agglomerations, not necessarily centers of culture. People need a reliable food supply, electricity, hydrocarbon fuels, and land, air, and ocean transportation. Wind and solar power can do almost none of that. They can't even provide the energy to do the mining, manufacturing, transportation, and disposal of their own equipment.
Antonio Guterres, Head of the United Nations, claims: "The World Is On Fire!!!" from man-made carbon dioxide. This is the wrong leadership for the world. Countries need much better governments, education systems, economies, and respect for biodiversity and wildlife habitats.
About half the population lives in Asia, in particular in Megacities. Here are the top ten Megacities in 2025.
Governments, schools, universities, urban planners, engineers, and scientists should spend more time planning for humanity and the environment instead of how to quickly become a billionaire, plan wars, empires, currency manipulations, and market questionable belief systems. We aren't in the Dark Ages anymore.

Life has prospered for millions of years. We must accept the weather as it is and stop kidding ourselves that we can control the climate. Only Nature and its Creator control weather and climate. The Devil has nothing to do with climate. But the Devil's human incarnations claim to be able to control the climate. They demand Net Zero CO2 energy policies and sequestering man-made carbon dioxide. Pooh!
The oceans cover 71% of the planet. The Sun and oceans are the prime influencers of the climate. Not natural or “man-made” CO2. They are molecules of life!
China is doing many things better than most of the rest of the world. They will be the winners, not America's quick billionaires. The days of Europe and the United States dictating wars, drawing boundaries of foreign countries, determining who gets to use natural resources, and whose currency rules the globe are fading.
