In the middle of an environmental crisis? Are we not going to factor that outcome into our measure of progress?
- bryanlarsen 3y agoFor at least the past 3500 years we've always been in the middle of an environmental crisis. Some of them have decimated populations. Climate change is forecasted to kill 0.1% of the population per year. In a population of 8 billion that's a massive number, but compared relatively to some previous environmental crises that's tiny.
