These limp attempts to limit demand are exactly what people naturally do, and so is ignoring them. Some environmentalists might say that our power is unchecked because we've killed our last predators and destroyed all the other checks on our resource consumption, but they just aren't looking far enough in the future or with a wide enough view at the system. The checks are there, and they will check us since we're incapable of checking ourselves. And it's gonna hurt my kids.
