Suppose drastic measures have been decided needed, and we decide to replicate the results of Genghis Khan and the Mongol empire as reported by Julia Pongratz, et al.: mass murder sustained over a century causes reforestation and global cooling.
Which people should be killed? High fossil fuel consumers? High population density areas to minimize the amount of murder effort (presumably nuclear weapons)? Areas where trees grow really fast (tropical)?
It's not just mere mass murder but mass murder sustained over a century or more. What kind of political structure can stay in place for so long despite likely opposition by all those who do not want to be killed?
Make it a game: level up from mere serial killer like so many first-person shooters to Genghis Khan, savior of the world. Each new level gives more power, but more problems.
