This very thread for instance: while the AGW cultists are happy to make claims we're all going to die unless we reduce our carbon emissions by 40%, none of them seem able to tell me which hundreds of millions of people they've got picked out to let starve to death when the cost of efficient mass production of food goes through the roof.

The cost is going to rise anyway regardless of emissions cut requirements. The mismatch of fossil fuel production and demand for that fuel going forward is as likely to cause the "deaths of hundreds of millions" as is climate change, whether human caused or not.
The big problem, the elephant in the living room that nobody wants to see, is population size. Unrestricted human population growth will doom this planet as surely as global nuclear war or runaway greenhouse effect.
One potential advantage of mandatory emissions cuts is that we may be able to find new ways to maintain food production that is not as dependent on fossil fuels. That is a Win Win anyway you look at it.
