Degrowth or Extinction
Mark BurtonNew study on #degrowth and other #ClimateMitigation scenarios.
Need to check the detail but it
Looks broadly positive for degrowth: reduces the need for impossible levels of "renewables".
But beware #CarbonTunnelVision.

Why have I not seen this drawing before?

Paul Peace@Andy_Scollick it's taken forever to get climate change on the map, and many have had their backs turned. As you know, it's not even (yet) the most serious of the planetary boundary breaches. I think these two images capture the essence of the problem.

MhdiLmn"There is at present no plan, in any country, anywhere, on a global or national scale, to address extinctions, biodiversity crash, and habitat loss.
The dismal reality is that with a green build-out, we will be saving not the complex web of life on Earth but the particular way of life of one privileged domineering species that depends for its success on a nature-ravaging network of technological marvels."
