Green Growth Doesn’t Exist – Less of Everything Is the Only Way To
- nanis 5y agoDefinitely revealing the real game the "green" movements have been playing in service of the Союз Советских Социалистических Республик. Keep in mind that even with an ever-expanding pie, strife over "fair share" has been a constant feature of the post-WWII era as well as the first quarter of the 21st century. Nothing good can come out of actions that purposefully destroy the pie.
- chuckee 5y agoIt's folly to think destroying the environment won't impact this pie. Whether this is a "game" or not that the green movements have been playing, does not mean the article isn't true. Besides, the pie size only matters on a per-capita basis, and most advanced economies have below-replacement fertility, meaning their economies can shrink without reducing living standards, even if they do nothing else differently. Barring population addition via immigration.
- nanis 5y agoHaving grown up in an actually polluted city where we had to keep ammonia in a container in the living room to scrub CO during winter months, "destroying the environment" by breathing thing is a little overwrought. Also, reducing the future potential of productive new individuals from joining society is not the utopia you think it is.
