Under (neoliberal) capitalist principles consumption expands as far as resources allow, by way of having, then newly found, consumers participate in its expansion. And this planet lets it expand beyond the bounds what it may sustain permanently (for a human civilization-scale sense of permanence), absent a force that would immediately constrain it. And so the reserves deplete and the real bill gets written when overburdening demand meets empty reserves. "Only after the last tree has been cut down / Only after the last river has been poisoned / Only after the last fish has been caught / Then will you find that money cannot be eaten." So, to more flight cancellations!
