I don’t think our current earth population is unsustainable though.
- kuschku 5y agoIt’s not sustainable with our current consumption standards, especially considering AC usage, space usage for single-family homes, and meat consumption. If everyone was a vegetarian living a dutch lifestyle we’d have no issue, that’s true.
- philwelch 5y agoI’m not even sure that’s true. Energy abundance solves most of these problems.
- imtringued 5y agoWe don't have energy abundance. We are burning our ancestors (hyperbole for fossil fuels) to stay alive.
- philwelch 5y agoWe're capable of developing and building out abundant energy production over the next century if we want to, and doing so is going to be a far preferable option to deliberate material deprivation.
