Growth is tied to emissions of GHG. Economic collapse will decrease growth. A correllary will be large numbers of early deaths (as seen in the ex-USSR) which will further reduce consumption and GHG emissions.
And, soon we will all be on Elon Musk and Richard Branson's space arks on our way to terraforming Mars.
It's all good bro! Don't listen to the pessimists, clap your hands and learn some Lisp.
- AnimalMuppet 7y agoEconomic collapse is going to be tied to massive environmental devastation. Those "large number of early deaths"? They're not going to go quietly. They're going to over-exploit any remotely exploitable resource first. (I also have a hard time reconciling "large number of early deaths" and "It's all good bro!". One of these is not like the other...)
