Just an anecdote of what I remember seeing in New Zealand recently...on the northernmost tip...huge intensive avocado farms being set up....kind of sickening really but very much in tune with their economy which seems intent on ruining their environment for a a few export dollars (in this case sucking up aquifers and inviting in salination, in other cases such as dairy farming polluting the said aquifiers so they can sell dried milk to China) My point is that on a historical level you create ecological disasters so a certain middle class can survive in artificial comfort while sending stuff to other countries so their middle classes can live in a similarily artificial environment
