Malthus didn't predict anything. His theory is steady-state. Population always presses against the available resources. If resources increase the steady-state population increases accordingly.

"On top of that, the use of fossil fuel has resulted in a rapid rise in atmospheric CO2. Figure 2, which could cause massively disruptive changes in the climate. Fossil fuel based civilization was entering its last stage."

Takes a leap of faith.

The data that correlates the rise of CO2 and surface temperature alone is flawed and in fact has decoupled.

Also that fossil fuel burning is the sole cause of CO2 rise is problematic also. Note Anastassia Makarieva's work on the Biotic pump.

It seems that you have succumbed to the pre-Trump school of thinking. Not saying that he is entirely right either, just that I'm getting sick of the Climate Change! rhetoric as if we should all be Chicken Little.
