So, is degrowth a “dangerous” solution?

Yes, in a way, it is. Degrowth will be fraught with danger. It will be very difficult to achieve, and many setbacks will occur along the way.

But the alternative, which is Business As Usual, staying on the path of continued economic growth, is much MORE dangerous.

You can see the evidence all around us:

🟥 Sea levels rising > https://phys.org/news/2025-05-sea-limited-15c.html

🟥 The climate heating up > https://climatejustice.social/@breadandcircuses/114296766329157744

🟥 Forests and cities burning > https://climatejustice.social/@breadandcircuses/114574315083882802

To go on this way is madness. Degrowth is the only hope we have for a comparatively soft landing.
