My issue is that “sustainable” is not something we can “go back” to - we have never been sustainable since the Industrial Revolution. Sustainable is a not-yet-invented future. People complain about climate deniers blythly waiting for a technology to fix it all for us, but getting shelter, heating, food and urban lifestyle to 8 billion people is going to come at an enormous energy cost - China spent 30 years building cities for 1 billion and basically Doubled the CO2 output of the planet. We need to invent houses that have ridiculously less carbon, city transport based on bicycles and vegetarian diets for billions. We don’t know what sustainable looks like And that terrifies me more than thinking this is “just a diet”
