“Climate science” values growth more than the climate. That’s why climate impacts are compartmentalised and we pursue only those “climate actions” which are compatible with growth. Most climate science is non-objective, human supremacist, and frankly fraudulent.

One of the few who understand that there's no such thing as #sustainability within a system that seeks endless "growth" ... on a finite planet. I only wish the massive #ClimateAction movement would see the root cause and start including #degrowth in their message.

Great to see the idea of "natural capital" working it's way into the agricultural sector. "Natural capital" is a re-branding of natural resources (#nature) such as soil, water & living things so they can be better recognised, valued & managed in an economic & ecological sense.…

People need to move beyond their emotive based support for immigration & population growth Yes it would be wonderful if our land had no limits & 'more the merrier' was really a thing But there are deep & serious economic & ecological costs to overshoot which must take priority

Sadly, they know that growth at current levels is both unpopular and unsustainable. Still, against all evidence, they proceed with a policy that pumps GDP, with no regard for per-person outcomes or the impact on our biophysical environment that supports all life on our planet.
