The UK is a country, not a civilization. They don’t have to solve the same coordination problem that the entire world has.
- chimprich 7y agoI must be missing something in your argument, because if countries can spontaneously reduce consumption without coordination, doesn't that solve the problem? You say "No civilization has ever voluntarily reduced resource consumption", but civilisation as a whole has not needed to before. This is the first time I can think of that we have faced a global existential threat - or at least one we can do something about.
