I have very intensive doubts in this aspect.

Have you subjected your doubts to scrutiny? Would you like to express what they are?

Even if they are right, we cannot stop our economy, which is based on consumption of fossil fuel today. If they are not right, we try to stop the economy and begin to die because of starvation and abject poverty

Nobody is suggesting stopping the economy; that's complete hyperbole. The objective is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. You can do this by changing energy generation (e.g., from fossil fuels to renewables). You know, we have plenty of opportunity to develop solar and wind power for example.

Plus, we could consider making some considerations of opportunity costs.

For example.

"I think dead children should be used as a unit of currency. I know this sounds controversial, but hear me out (http://www.raikoth.net/deadchild.htm)...."
