The article is very meta. Degrowth is definitely not a topic that is covered well in the press, but it is most likely a relevant part of solving climate change. However, communicating degrowth is hard and quickly leads to people accusing one of trying to forbid all the nice things in their life (which is not true). Degrowth is fundamentally about having less, but people will get very defensive very quickly, when you suggest it. But the truth is: We are already using too many resources that the earth system can't replenish: https://www.overshootday.org/ https://www.overshootday.org/ The question is not if we will practise degrowth, but when. The longer we wait, the harder the change will be and the fewer option we will have to make the changes on our own terms.
